Tips for making the best creamy sweetcorn chowder:
- Use fresh corn kernels if possible. Frozen corn will work, but it will not have the same sweetness and flavor as fresh corn.
- Don’t overcook the soup. The corn should be tender, but not mushy.
- Season the soup to taste. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to get the desired flavor.
- Garnish the soup with fresh dill for an extra pop of flavor.
Enjoy !
