Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in the butter until the onion becomes translucent, this should take about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- To thicken the chowder, lightly mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot using a potato masher or the back of a spoon.
- Stir in the milk, drained tuna, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the chowder cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
Tips
- For a dairy-free version, replace the milk with a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.
- For a thicker chowder, you could mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and add it to the soup before the final simmer.
- You could add some shredded cheddar cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
