Smoky Corn Chowder (With Hidden Vegetables!)

"Full of fresh vegetables, this chowder is pretty healthy (compared to others) and easy to make! Instead of massive quantities of heavy cream, it is thickened mainly with grated potato and zucchini, which dissolve during cooking and adds additional nutrients. Although I don't have kids, I imagine this would be a good way to sneak vegetables into the diet of picky eaters :)"

directions

  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil and cook the onions until translucent. Add the grated and chopped potatoes and cook for several minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Add the grated zuchini and yellow summer squash.
  • Add the can of chicken broth plus 2-3 cans full of water. Add the whole turkey wing and paprika. Raise heat to medium-high.
  • Meanwhile, shuck the corn (if using fresh) and wash. Using a sharp knife, slice off the corn kernels into a bowl.
  • Add the corn to the pot, bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the turkey wing and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, return to the pot. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes, covered.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream (if using), Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Mix well and serve hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a junior at the University of Illinois @ Urbana Champaign, studying Speech and Hearing Science with a concentration in Audiology. I grew up in a very small rural town in northern Illinois and attended a residential high school (IMSA) in Aurora. I love soccer, fishing, dissecting stuff, drawing and painting, henna, pyrography, knitting (although I am not very good at it!) cooking and prowling for recipes online, Judaism, reading, rock climbing, and the outdoors. I hope to pursue a doctorate in Audiology (AuD) after undergrad. I have always loved cooking and trying new foods, and moving into my first apartment has been a wonderful opportunity to do so. However, it has also been quite a transition getting used to actually cooking for myself everyday, without making a huge ordeal. I do believe I am getting better at fixing a meal in a more efficient amount of time :)
