Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and toss in chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add diced russet potatoes and enough water (or chicken broth for more flavor) to the pot to cover the ingredients. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour with a splash of water to create a smooth slurry. Gradually pour this into the simmering chowder while stirring continuously.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. Season with thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and heat through on low.
  6. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
