Step-by-Step Instructions for Potato Corn Chowder
  1. Begin by dicing one onion, two cloves of garlic, one carrot, and two medium potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a large pot, melt four tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes.
  3. Introduce the diced carrot and potatoes into the pot, stirring well to combine.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls and serve warm.
