ROASTED CORN CHOWDER
Roasted fresh corn and potato chowder is hard to beat on a chilly day! For a twist, add just a few ounces of smoked salmon and have an incredible British Columbia-inspired smoked salmon corn chowder. Had this in a little cafe on a dock in Vancouver, BC while waiting for a sea plane to take me to the outer west coast of Vancouver Island for a late season salmon fishing trip. I spent several years playing around with it to recreate it. Don't know if I matched theirs exactly, but I have come up with this basic roasted corn chowder recipe that turns into a great smoked salmon chowder, too.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat; stir in corn and tarragon and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Place skillet with corn in the preheated oven; roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly browned but not dry, about 20 minutes.
- Place bacon in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
- Heat reserved bacon fat in Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, about 15 minutes.
- Pour chicken stock over caramelized onions; stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to dissolve any browned bits, and bring to a boil. Stir corn, potatoes, parsley, garlic, celery, and paprika into onion mixture. Crumble bacon, reserving about 1/4 cup for garnish, and stir bacon into soup. Reduce heat to low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Stir remaining 2 tablespoons butter and half-and-half into soup; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle reserved bacon and Cheddar cheese over soup to serve.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock and white wine to a boil with the garlic and thyme. Add the clams, bring back to a boil, cover, and steam until the clams are just opened, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl and discard any unopened clams. Remove the clams from their shells and set aside.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter. Saute the onion, leek, carrot, and celery over moderate heat, until al dente, about 10minutes. Pour in the clam liquid and bring to a boil. Add the corncobs and the corn kernels, reserving 1 cup of kernels for garnish. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cobs and strain the soup into a clean saucepan. Transfer the strained vegetables to a blender or food processor, pour in the cream, and process until pureed, still retaining a little texture. Stir back into the soup and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, add the reserved clams, and simmer for 1 minute. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- While the soup is cooking, prepare the jalapeno cream. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients, seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Ladle the soup into heated bowls, making sure that there are clams in each bowl. Spoon a little of the jalapeno cream in the center, passing the remaining cream in a small bowl. Garnish with the reserved 1 cop corn kernels and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make the puree:
- Broil the jalapeños on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. Transfer the jalapeños to a bowl and let them stand, covered tightly, until they are cool enough to handle. Wearing rubber gloves, peel the jalapeños, cut off the tops, and discard all but 1 teaspoon of the seeds. In a blender puree the jalapeños with the seeds, the oil, the lime juice, the water, the garlic, the parsley, and salt to taste. The puree may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Make the chowder:
- In a kettle cook the onion and the celery in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the celery is softened, add the broth, the water, the potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/8-inch cubes, and the ham, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Stir in the corn and the thyme and simmer the chowder for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. In a blender or food processor purée 2 cups of the chowder and stir the purée into the remaining chowder.
- Serve the chowder with a small dollop of the jalapeño and parsley puree swirled into it.

Steps:
- Slice roasted red pepper strips into thin slices. Carefully remove stem and seeds from the jalapeno peppers and discard; finely chop the peppers.
- In a blender combine the chicken broth with 1 1/2 cups of the corn. Blend until nearly smooth.
- In a large saucepan combine the broth mixture and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of corn. Stir in cooked chicken, milk, red peppers, and jalapenos. Simmer over medium heat until heated through.
- Garnish each serving with Monterey Jack cheese.
Tips:
- To easily remove corn kernels from the cob, hold the cob vertically over a large bowl and use a sharp knife to slice downwards, following the cob's natural curve. - Roasted poblano peppers add a smoky, slightly spicy flavor to the chowder. To roast them, place them on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the skin is charred. Then, transfer them to a paper bag and let them steam for 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds. - If you don't have any roasted poblano peppers on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder. - Be sure to use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor. Frozen corn can also be used, but it should be thawed and drained before adding it to the chowder. - For a creamier chowder, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. - Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers.Conclusion:
This corn chowder with roasted jalapeños is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted jalapeños add a touch of heat that is balanced out by the sweetness of the corn and the creaminess of the milk.
