🥣 Amish Snow Day Soup (Creamy Corn Chowder)








When the snow is falling and you need something warm and comforting, nothing beats a pot of Amish Snow Day Soup. This cozy corn chowder is simple, hearty, and made with wholesome ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

Inspired by traditional Amish cooking, this soup blends tender potatoes, sweet corn, onions, and milk (or cream) for a thick, creamy texture that’s satisfying and nourishing. It’s the kind of meal that makes winter days feel warm again — perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a make-ahead meal for the week.

🥔 Ingredients:

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 cups frozen or canned corn

  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 2 cups milk (or half & half for creamier texture)

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: pinch of thyme or parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook the Vegetables:
    In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
    Add diced potatoes and corn, then pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

  2. Thicken the Soup:
    In a small bowl, whisk flour with ¼ cup milk until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the soup, whisking to avoid lumps.

  3. Add Creaminess:
    Stir in the remaining milk (or half & half). Simmer another 5–10 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and creamy.

  4. Season and Serve:
    Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot with buttery rolls or Amish white bread.

🍞 Optional Add-Ins:

  • Crumbled bacon or diced ham for extra heartiness 🥓

  • Shredded cheddar cheese for a creamy twist 🧀

  • A sprinkle of smoked paprika for depth

  • Add carrots or celery for more veggies

💡 Tips for the Best Amish Corn Chowder:

  • Don’t rush the simmer — slow cooking brings out the sweet corn flavor.

  • Use whole milk or cream for a rich, comforting texture.

  • Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors deepen.
