Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds frozen corn kernels, thawed, and drizzled with olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 Roma tomatoes, rubbed with olive oil
1 medium red pepper, rubbed with olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 small yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups corn tortilla chips, chopped
Cumin
Chili powder
1 medium avocado, small diced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Put the oiled corn on a baking sheet and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Put the oiled tomatoes on another baking sheet and roast them both for 10 to 12 minutes until the tomato skin blisters and the corn is lightly browned. In a medium skillet, grill the red pepper over medium-high heat until it is black on each side. Put the tomatoes and the pepper in the refrigerator, and peel them when they have cooled.
  • Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic and saute. Add the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, roasted corn, peeled tomatoes, half-and-half, and 1 1/4 cups of the tortilla chip pieces and mix well. Pour this mixture in a food processor or blender* and puree until smooth. Strain the chowder, and then season it with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, to taste. Peel and dice the roasted red pepper. Serve the soup topped with diced avocado, red pepper, and the remaining tortilla chip pieces. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's been a hit both times. The chowder is creamy, flavorful, and has just the right amount of spice. I love that it's also relatively easy to make. I highly recommend this recipe!

Yum! This chowder was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The corn was sweet and tender, and the broth was creamy and flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This chowder is amazing! The flavors are so rich and flavorful. I love the addition of the poblano pepper, it gives the dish a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This corn chowder was an absolute delight! The blend of spices and the sweetness of the corn was perfect. I added a bit of extra cayenne pepper for a little kick, and it turned out amazing. My family loved it, and we'll definitely be making it again
