Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

Categories     Cornbread

Time 55m

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure you don't overcrowd it. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will not cook evenly and the soup will be watery.
  • Simmer the soup gently: Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer it gently for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken and gnocchi corn chowder include shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, and crumbled tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

This Mexican-inspired chicken and gnocchi corn chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup recipe, give this one a try.
