Simmer sliced leeks, carrots, and cubed potato in chicken broth until everything’s fork-tender, then blend it smooth to create a creamy vegetable base.

Stir in evaporated skim milk and corn kernels, heat gently without boiling, and season to taste.

The result is silky corn chowder that tastes rich but keeps things light with skim milk instead of heavy cream.

Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve four bowls of pure comfort.

Kitchen Tips

  • Purée vegetables completely for velvety smooth texture without adding cream
  • Use evaporated skim milk for richness without the fat of heavy cream
  • Heat gently after adding milk to prevent curdling; don’t let it boil
