Number Of Ingredients 17

⅔ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
⅓ cup chopped green chile pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon margarine
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 cups cheese tortellini
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

Overall, I thought this chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The tortellini in this chowder was a bit too mushy for my liking. I would recommend using a different type of pasta, such as macaroni or penne.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
