SWEET CORN CHOWDER



Sweet Corn Chowder image

Summer calls for lighter meals, and this chowder delivers with a healthier take on a classic. The soup is thickened by pureeing part of it in a blender, eliminating the need for flour or cream. Fresh sage and a hint of chile pepper flakes give it a subtle, smoky flavor. We suggest using grilled or roasted corn but thawed frozen kernels will work well in a pinch.

Provided by Jennifer Perillo

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
2 cups cooked corn kernels (from 2 large ears)
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced 3/8 inch thick
6 fresh sage leaves, chopped
Generous pinch of chile pepper flakes, plus more for garnishing
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
3 cups vegetable stock or Corn Broth, recipe follows
5 cooked ears of corn
1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 whole peppercorns, black or white
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 dried bay leaf
1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot until shimmering. Add the onion and saute until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn, potatoes, sage and chile pepper flakes; saute for 1 minute. Season with salt. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully pour half the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth-remember the soup is hot, so be careful. Stir the pureed mixture back into the pot with the remaining soup. Taste the soup and add more salt, if desired. Ladle into bowls, garnish with a few chile flakes and serve hot.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob (see Cook's Note); reserve the kernels for a later use.
  • Using the side of a spoon or a butter knife, scrape down the sides of the cobs into a deep stockpot to release the "milk" and loosen any bits of corn. Add 8 cups water to the pot, along with the salt, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaf and onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and let the broth cook for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Pour the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to strain out the vegetables and bits of corn (a pot lined with cheesecloth works well too). The broth is now ready to use as a base for soups, stews and sauces. If not using immediately, transfer to glass jars and let cool completely. Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 1week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

EASY SUMMER CORN CHOWDER



Easy Summer Corn Chowder image

Summer corn chowder is served hot, but irresistible because of the fresh corn.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
2 ribs celery, strings removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice (3/4 cup)
8 sprigs thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
3 ears yellow corn, kernels removed (about 2 1/2 cups)
5 ounces small fingerling potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 poblano chile, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • Place bacon in small stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is deep golden brown and all the fat has been rendered, about 4 minutes. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel, and set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  • Add onions, celery, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste to stockpot; cook over medium-low heat until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 15 minutes.
  • Add corn, potatoes, and chile; cook until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard thyme. Add half-and-half, and simmer until soup is hot. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with the reserved crisp bacon pieces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor. If fresh corn is not available, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will give your chowder a much better flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe is just a starting point, so feel free to add or substitute vegetables that you like. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, and zucchini.
  • If you want a thicker chowder, you can add a roux made from butter and flour. To make a roux, simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and then whisk in the flour. Cook the roux for a few minutes, or until it is golden brown. Then, whisk the roux into the chowder.
  • Serve the chowder with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley.

Conclusion:

Fresh Summer Corn Chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is made with fresh corn, vegetables, and a creamy broth. This chowder is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for a meal. So, next time you are looking for a summer soup recipe, give Fresh Summer Corn Chowder a try!
