Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, diced

2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced zucchini and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the zucchini to release its moisture.

      Incorporate Potatoes and Corn: Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot. Mix thoroughly to combine.

        Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth and season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

          Creamy Touch: Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Stir to combine and let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

              Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for color and freshness. Enjoy warm!
