Steps:
- Combine the milk, cumin seeds, bay leaves and rosemary in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and bring nearly to a simmer. (Do not boil.) Remove from the heat and let sit 20 minutes to infuse.
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium heat. Cook the onions with the salt until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the garlic and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Then stir in the corn kernels and diced chilies and continue cooking over low heat 5 more minutes.
- Using your finest strainer, strain the infused herbal milk into the corn and chili mixture. Bring to a very slow simmer over low heat. Gently simmer 15 minutes.
- Pour one third of the soup into a food processor or blender and puree. Stir back into the soup pot. Serve hot with the chives as garnish.
POBLANO CORN CHOWDER
This soup was created as a way to use up some surplus corn, and it was a HUGE hit with every diverse set of tastebuds in both my family and my husband's family. The spiciness can be adjusted by adding more or less chipotle and adobo sauce. If you are serving kids, try using only 1 poblano and one chipotle, with no adobe sauce. You can add a little extra red bell pepper (sweet) for color, too. My 2 1/2 year old lapped it up this way. But even my pregnant SIL, who has acid reflux and isn't eating spicy food, made a special exception for this soup when it was spicy, because it was so good. It's flexible. I hope you like it :) The secret is really making the broth with the cobs and scraping off some of the extra corn bits :) But I think it might be okay with frozen corn too, in the winter or if you are short on time. By the way, when I say chopped, I mean pretty big bite size pieces...You want some big chunks to bite into. Except the poblanos. Probably want to distribute those a bit.

Steps:
- Cut up the potatoes and remove the kernels of corn from the cobs with a knife. Set aside in a large bowl, or wherever you have room. (I held the corn IN a bowl while I cut so the kernels didn't fly everywhere so much.).
- In a large pot (this recipe makes about 14 cups, so pretty large), boil the broth and the corn cobs together for about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the cobs and let cool. Scrape the remaining corn bits into the pot of broth. You can use a butter knife or spoon. Let this pot rest for a moment.
- In a large skillet, melt butter or use non-fat cooking spray and saute the chopped onions and bell peppers until just tender.
- Add to this skillet the garlic and poblanos and continue to saute until poblanos are tender too.
- Dump the onion/pepper/garlic mixture into the broth pot. Add the chipotle(s) (whole so they can be removed if you like) and some of the adobo sauce (2 T. is a rough estimate).
- Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes and corn and simmer until potatoes are al dente ;) Maybe 20 minutes?.
- Turn off the heat. Add cream.
- Ladle about half of the soup into a blender (you may have to do this in batches) and blend with the cheese. (I do 2 batches, so I use half the cheese in the first batch and half in the second.).
- Call everyone to dinner.
- You can offer cilantro as a garnish (or even add a bit to the soup pot if everyone likes it.).

Steps:
- Blacken all sides of the poblano peppers under broil in the oven, roasting and turning them until each side is blackened. Place the peppers in a paper bag to sweat the skins.

POBLANO CORN CHOWDER
This is a very creamy and spicy corn chowder with shrimp and poblano peppers. The lobster base is optional, but in my opinion you really need to use it if you can.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Corn: Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the soup.
- Roast the Poblanos: Roasting the poblanos gives them a smoky flavor that adds depth to the soup. To roast the poblanos, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 10-12 minutes, or until they are blackened and blistered. Once they are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and seeding them.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: In addition to corn and poblanos, this soup can also be made with other vegetables, such as onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes. If you are using other vegetables, be sure to dice them into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or paprika, if desired.
- Serve with Toppings: Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or crumbled bacon.
Conclusion:
Corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy broth, tender corn, and smoky roasted poblanos, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
