ROASTED GREEN CHILE AND CORN CHOWDER
I absolutely love the green chile corn chowder soup they have at Sweet Tomatoes, so I found this recipe to suffice my cravings. I like roasting the corn and chiles before adding them to the soup. I do this by throwing them into the oven at 450 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes, or until the skins of the peppers start charring and wilting, and the corn browns. I enjoy poblano and anaheim peppers in this recipe. This is a filling soup, but pairs nicely with grilled salmon.

LOBSTER AND GREEN CHILE CHOWDER WITH ROASTED CORN-GREEN CHILE RELISH
Steps:
- CHOWDER: *Cook's note: to roast corn: Remove the silks from the corn, but leave the husks on. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove corn from water, place on baking sheets and roast in the oven until tender and slightly charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, remove husks and kernels and place kernels in a bowl. You can also do this on a grill. Remove the claws from the lobsters. Carefully crack the claws and try to remove the meat in 1 piece and set aside for garnish. Remove the tail meat and chop into 1-inch chunks and set aside in the refrigerator. Reserve the shells. Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat; add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Increase heat to high, add the wine, lobster shells, and corn cobs and cook until completely reduced. Add 4 cups of the lobster stock and bring to a boil. Add 2 cups of the corn and let cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lobster shells and corn cobs. Transfer the soup to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain into a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lobster meat, remaining 1 cup of roasted corn kernels and green chiles and cook for 5 minutes. Place heavy cream in a medium saucepan and reduce by half. Add the reduced cream to the chowder and stir until combined, if the chowder appears too thick, add some of the remaining lobster stock to thinly slightly. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cilantro. Ladle into bowls and top with a few tablespoons of relish, a lobster claw and fresh cilantro leaves. RELISH: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Let relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of green chiles. For a mild chowder, use Anaheim or poblano chiles. For a medium-spicy chowder, use jalapeño or serrano chiles. For a hot chowder, use habanero or cayenne chiles.
- Roast the green chiles before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and reduce their bitterness.
- Use fresh corn kernels. Frozen or canned corn kernels will not work as well in this recipe.
- Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to caramelize them and bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the chowder.
- Season the chowder to taste. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or cumin depending on your personal preference.
- Serve the chowder with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
