Yield 8

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
⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cups cheese tortellini
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, garlic and jalapeno in margarine until tender but not brown, 5 minutes.
  • Stir in broth, potatoes, cumin, salt, pepper and red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until potatoes are just tender.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together flour and vegetable oil. Pour into soup, increase heat to medium, and cook until thickened and bubbly. Stir in corn, half-and-half and tortellini and heat through. Serve.

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.

This chowder was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder, or omitting it altogether.

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.
