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.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 poblano chiles, seeded and diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/4 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Two (12- to 16-ounce) bags frozen corn (see Cook's Note)
1 large russet potato, scrubbed and diced (about 2 cups)
4 cups vegetable stock or broth
One 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk, well-shaken
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
  • Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.

This corn chowder was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory flavor profile. However, the texture was creamy and smooth, and the corn was cooked perfectly. With a few adjustments, this could be a great recipe! ?

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. I would reduce the amount of coconut milk and add more vegetables for a more balanced flavor. I would also use fresh corn instead of canned for a sweeter, more vibrant flavor. With a few adjustme

I found this chowder to be bland and uninspired. The coconut milk didn't add much flavor, and the spices were not well-balanced. I wouldn't make it again. ?

This chowder was a disappointment. The coconut milk overpowered the other flavors, and the soup was too thick and gloppy. I wouldn't recommend it. ?

This corn chowder is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The smokiness from the paprika and cumin is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the corn and coconut milk. I added a touch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, and it turned out amaz
