Ingredients

  1. 2 tbsp olive oil
  2. 1 tbsp butter
  3. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  4. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  5. 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  7. ½ tsp dried thyme
  8. 500ml chicken or seafood stock
  9. 1 cup milk
  10. 1 cup thickened cream
  11. 300g prawns, peeled and deveined
  12. 1½ cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  13. Salt and pepper, to taste
  14. 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  15. Crusty bread, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to soften the potatoes before adding the liquids.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.
  5. Add the prawn meat to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawn meat is cooked through and turns opaque.
  6. Stir in the cream or milk, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, making sure everything is heated evenly.
  7. Optional: Add lemon juice for extra brightness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Serve the chowder hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy this comforting and creamy prawn and corn chowder!

Chef's Tip

For a rich and silky chowder, allow the potatoes to soften fully in the stock so they naturally thicken the soup and create a creamy texture without becoming too heavy. Add the prawns right at the end of cooking and simmer gently so they stay tender and sweet rather than overcooked. The sweetness of the corn pairs perfectly with the smoky paprika and creamy broth, creating a comforting seafood chowder that is best served hot with crusty bread for dipping.
