MARY'S TEX MEX CORN CHOWDER



Mary's Tex Mex Corn Chowder image

Since I moved to Germany, my only homesickness has been for US food, especially Mexican dishes & New England fare. I adapted this recipe from a basic corn chowder recipe and it came out really well. The heat is a good level - kick, but not enough to make it inedible for my German guests. :)

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 bell peppers, chopped
500 ml boiling water
2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder
2 tablespoons sherry wine

4 (320 g) cans corn
750 ml whole milk

  • Mix vegetable stock powder & water in a mixing cup.
  • Add broth, sherry, potatoes, and hot peppers to pot. Cover and increase heat. Liquid should not quite cover the potatoes. If it does, allow to cook a bit longer to reduce the amount of liquid.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

chowder with a kick.

Provided by Jackie Brink

Categories     Chowders

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 lb frozen corn
2 c prepared salsa
2 c chicken stock
1 c milk
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the butter in a pot over moderate heat and saute the onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chowder will taste. If possible, use fresh corn, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked just until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked corn will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use a good-quality broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the chowder to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and cumin you add will depend on your personal preferences. Be sure to taste the chowder as you cook it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Tex-Mex corn chowder include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
