SMOKY CORN CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK



Smoky Corn Chowder with Coconut Milk image

Using frozen corn means that this chowder can be made year-round, but feel free to use fresh corn when it's at its peak in late summer. The fresh kernels contain a delicious milky substance that will add flavor and help to thicken the soup. Smoked paprika gives this corn chowder a smoky flavor that's further accentuated by vibrant poblano chiles. Starchy russet potatoes work particularly well in this soup and help thicken it, however, any potato variety will work.
