Ingredients

½ cup butter
1 small carrot, finely diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white corn kernels
1 ½ cups yellow corn kernels
4 russet potatoes, diced
2 cooked rotisserie chicken breast halves, shredded
4 cups chicken stock, divided
2 ½ cups half-and-half
1 pinch nutmeg
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir carrot, celery, onion, and garlic into hot butter until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir flour into mixture to make a paste; cook until lightly browned and flour gives off a slightly toasted smell, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully, flour burns easily. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
Stir white and yellow corn, potatoes, chicken, and 3 cups of chicken stock in a large soup pot over medium heat. Whisk remaining 1 cup chicken stock into vegetables and flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir mixture into ingredients in soup pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes.
Stir half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper into chowder. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
