MARY'S TEX MEX CORN CHOWDER

Since I moved to Germany, my only homesickness has been for US food, especially Mexican dishes & New England fare. I adapted this recipe from a basic corn chowder recipe and it came out really well. The heat is a good level - kick, but not enough to make it inedible for my German guests. :)

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 bell peppers, chopped
500 ml boiling water
2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder
2 tablespoons sherry wine
8 medium potatoes, cubed
1 red chili pepper, diced
4 -5 canned jalapenos, diced
4 (320 g) cans corn
750 ml whole milk
500 ml cream

  • Mix vegetable stock powder & water in a mixing cup.
  • Add broth, sherry, potatoes, and hot peppers to pot. Cover and increase heat. Liquid should not quite cover the potatoes. If it does, allow to cook a bit longer to reduce the amount of liquid.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add corn. Cook another 10 minutes. (This step allows the soup to cool a bit and stop boiling before you add the milk products).
