Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, roast the poblano pepper directly over a gas burner or under a broiler until the skin is charred. Then, place the pepper in a paper bag for 10 minutes to sweat. This will make it easy to peel and remove the seeds.
- If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain and rinse the corn before using.
- To make the chowder thicker, blend a portion of the chowder in a blender until smooth and then stir it back into the pot.
- Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or crumbled queso fresco.
Conclusion:
This Mexican corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the poblano pepper, corn, and spices.
