The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

    About 1 min

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned.

    About 7 min

  3. 3

    Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften.

    About 5 min

  4. 4

    Carefully drain any excess fat from the pot.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Tilt the pot and use a large spoon to scoop out the rendered fat.

  5. 5

    Stir in the cream of celery soup, undrained diced tomatoes, drained corn, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    About 2 min

  6. 6

    Bring the chowder to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

    About 3 min

  7. 7

    Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking.

    About 20 min

    Cook’s note: A lower, gentle simmer develops the flavor without scorching the bottom.

  8. 8

    Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
