My corn chowder is missing that creamy, dreamy vibe. Any advice on how to make it richer and more flavorful? Should I add more cream, or is there a secret ingredient I'm missing?
A mixture of heavy cream and a small amount of cream cheese works wonderfully for adding richness and creaminess to corn chowder. For added depth and flavor, add a dollop of butter or a dash of bacon grease as another hidden ingredient. To get that dreamy texture, you may also purée part of the potatoes and corn before putting them back in the saucepan.
