Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen or canned corn. If you can, use corn that is in season.
  • Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky flavor to the chowder. You can roast the corn in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and celery, but you can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, or zucchini.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of both.
  • Season the chowder to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preferences. Be sure to taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly.

Conclusion:

Creamy Southwestern corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn. The roasted corn and the variety of vegetables give the chowder a lot of flavor, and the cream and cheese make it rich and creamy. This chowder is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
