Categories     Soup or stew

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ears of fresh sweet corn, shucked (or 6 cups frozen corn kernels)
1 pound red potatoes, cut into 3/4" cubes (about 3 cups)
1 large red onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper (optional)*, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream or Greek yogurt**
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Suggested garnishes: Grated sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced green onion, additional cilantro leaves and/or a tiny pinch of chili powder

Steps:

  • In a medium/large Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the corn, potatoes, onion, poblano, bell pepper, celery, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Stir to combine. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, while stirring constantly. Add the broth and water and stir to combine. Drop in the bay leaf.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's not done until the potatoes are fully cooked through and very easily pierced through with a fork.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Using kitchen tongs, remove the bay leaf. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the soup (about half liquid, half solids) to a blender. Securely fasten the lid and be careful to avoid the hot steam as you blend until completely smooth. Add the butter and blend again.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the cilantro, crème fraîche (see note if using sour cream or Greek yogurt) and lime juice. Stir to combine. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and be generous with the black pepper, to taste. If you'd like more spice, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more chili powder, to taste.
  • Divide the chowder into bowls and top with garnishes of your choice. Leftover chowder will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days or for several months frozen.

SPICY TOMATO CORN CHOWDER



Spicy Tomato Corn Chowder image

This is my personal twist on some easy tomato soup recipes I've seen on line. This one is super spicy and savory w/ the addition of hot Rotel (w/ habaneros) and goat milk. If you can't take that much heat, you can use the regular Rotel or any seasoned canned tomatoes. Buttermilk could substitute for the goat milk, but you will...

BASIC CORN CHOWDER



Basic Corn Chowder image

This is chowder at its simplest: corn, onion, potatoes and milk, with a couple of chopped tomatoes and a handful of parsley to add flavor and color. Starting with bacon and finishing with cream makes a richer version of the dish. But you could easily expand its borders by adding curry powder and ginger, sour cream and cilantro. Or when the potato is replaced by rice and the cream with coconut milk, Southeast Asian seasonings can be added to make a chowder that has little in common with the original, save for its intense corn flavor.

Categories     quick, weekday, soups and stews

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 to 6 ears of corn
1 tablespoon butter or neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, cored, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 cup whole or low-fat milk
1/2 cup chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Shuck corn, and use a paring knife to strip kernels into a bowl. Put cobs in a pot with 4 cups water; bring to a boil, cover and simmer while you continue.
  • Put butter or oil in a saucepan, and turn heat to medium-high. When butter melts or oil is hot, add onion and potatoes, along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes; add tomatoes and cook, stirring, for another minute or two.
  • After corncobs have cooked at least 10 minutes, strain liquid into onion-potato mixture; bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. When potatoes are tender, add corn kernels and milk, and heat through. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

Tips for a Perfect Spicy Tomato Corn Chowder

* **Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.** If you can't find fresh tomatoes, use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well. * **Don't be afraid to add a little heat.** The spiciness of the chowder is adjustable, so add as much or as little cayenne pepper as you like. * **Use a variety of corn.** Fresh, frozen, or canned corn can all be used in this recipe. If you're using fresh corn, be sure to cut the kernels off the cob. * **Don't overcook the vegetables.** The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. * **Serve the chowder hot with your favorite toppings.** Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion

Spicy tomato corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serve it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
