Chicken or Vegetable Broth

Dried Thyme (optional)

All-Purpose Flour (for thickening, optional)
Instructions
Prep the Vegetables: Begin by dicing the onions and mincing the garlic. Peel and dice the potatoes, ensuring that the pieces are uniform in size for even cooking. Slice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces, and cut the corn kernels off the cob.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the Potatoes and Broth: Once the aromatics are ready, add the diced potatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Incorporate the Corn and Zucchini: Add the corn kernels and sliced zucchini to the pot, and continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Season and Thicken: Season the chowder with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as dried thyme or paprika. If the chowder is not as thick as you’d like, you can create a simple roux by melting a bit of butter in a separate pan, then whisking in an equal amount of all-purpose flour. Stir this roux into the chowder and let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken the broth.
Finish and Serve: Once the chowder has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve the corn chowder with zucchini hot and enjoy!
