Lunch: Chef Jack's Corn Chowder

A creamy and delicious soup that your whole family will love.

Ingredients

3 cups chicken stock
2 cups half-and-half
3 cups white corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small stalk celery, diced
1 small carrot, finely diced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
pinch nutmeg, freshly ground

Instructions

Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Cook until the roux is lightly browned; set aside to cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, combine the corn and chicken stock in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the boiling stock with the corn (a little at a time) into the skillet with the roux, whisking briskly so it doesn't lump. Return the skillet to the heat and bring to a boil. The mixture should become very thick.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the half-and-half; stir it into the thick corn mixture. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, cut the remaining stick of butter into large chunks. Add it to enrich the soup, stirring until the butter melts.
