CHORIZO CORN CHOWDER

Recipe adapted from and with thanks to Sunset Magazine

Provided by Mary Younkin

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large poblano chiles
3/4 lb chorizo pork sausage
3 cans corn (do not drain (or 4 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn))
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
kosher salt (to taste (this will depend on how salty your sausage and your broth are))
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 small red onion (sliced as thinly as possible)
12 large basil leaves (finely sliced)
1 lime (cut into wedges)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil. Move the top oven rack to about 6 inches from the broiler. Place the chiles on a foil lined or well greased baking pan and broil for 15-18 minutes, turning over every 2-3 minutes. (Set a timer and be ready to turn them several times.) You want the chiles to be soft and blackened all over when you remove them from the oven. Transfer the roasted chiles to a dish with a lid (or a dish that can be tightly covered with foil). Cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes. The blackened portions should peel right off after resting. Peel and seed the chiles and chop into 1/4" - 1/2" pieces.
  • In a large pot, cook and crumble the chorizo over medium heat, about 6-7 minutes. Drain the grease well and add the corn and broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer just until the corn is tender and warm. Add the cream and poblanos. Stir and cook for about 2 more minutes, just to blend the flavors. Taste the broth and add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Scoop into bowls and top with onions and basil. Serve with a wedge of lime for squeezing on top. Enjoy!
