Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned cream-style corn in this chowder?
Yes. Replace 1 cup of whole corn kernels with 1 can (14.5 oz) of creamed corn. This adds natural sweetness and creates an even thicker, velvety broth without extra flour.
Should I peel the Yukon Gold potatoes?
Peeling is optional. Yukon Gold potato skins are very thin and tender, adding rustic color and texture. If using Russet potatoes, always peel them first because their skins are tough.
How can I thicken the chowder further without more flour?
Use a potato masher or immersion blender to lightly mash 1 cup of the cooked potatoes and corn directly in the pot. The released potato starch thickens the chowder naturally.
