Mary's Tex Mex Corn Chowder image

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

Steps:

  • Chop peppers.
  • Add to large pot with marjoram, chili powder, oregano, black pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat, until peppers are softened.
  • 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).
  • Add milk and cream. Simmer briskly 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not allow to boil!
  • Serve with a savory/salty bread to balance the sweetness & heat of the soup.

This was a great recipe! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the corn was cooked just right. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this soup.

I'm not a huge fan of corn chowder, but this recipe was pretty good. The addition of bacon and green chilies gave it a nice twist. I would definitely make it again if I was in the mood for corn chowder.

This chowder was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the texture was not very creamy. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices and maybe some sour cream.

This corn chowder is a fantastic blend of flavors and textures. The smokiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the corn pair perfectly, and the addition of diced tomatoes and green chilies gives it a nice kick. I especially love the creamy texture f
