Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon corn oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup water
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 ½ cups finely diced celery

¼ cup shallot, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of corn oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the celery, onion, and shallot. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and dried thyme leaves; cook 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable broth, corn puree, bay leaf, salt, and cubed potato. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Once the potato is tender, remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the whole corn kernels, sweet potato, and chopped parsley. Return to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/4 inch dice
½ lb. bay scallops
½ lb. bay shrimp
2 cups white wine

Tips:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes. Fresh sweet potatoes have a more vibrant flavor and texture than potatoes that have been stored for a long time.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes before cooking. The skins of sweet potatoes are tough and can be difficult to chew. Peeling the potatoes before cooking will make them more tender and easier to eat.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the broth. Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil will help them caramelize and develop a deeper flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or seafood broth are all good options.
  • Add some spices to the chowder. Spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder can help to add a warm and cozy flavor to the chowder.
  • Serve the chowder with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and add a bit of tanginess.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give sweet potato chowder a try!
