White Bean Chowder image

A lovely, filling soup with sweet and spicy flavors from the sweet corn and spices. I found this in a Dairy Favorites card at the grocery and made a few tweaks for our preferences. You can also sub white cannellini beans for the great northern - I just find it easier to locate the great northerns in my area.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced
1 cup corn kernel
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1/4 cup celery, diced
1 cup chicken or 1 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until onion is softened.
  • Add one can of beans and mash roughly.
  • Stir in remaining can of beans, green chilies, corn, carrots, celery, and broth.
  • Bring soup to a simmer and stir in the cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Combine milk and cornstarch, stirring well.
  • Stir the milk mixture into the soup, bringing it gradually to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and allow soup to simmer until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • Stir in 3/4 c of the cheese, reserving the remainder for use as garnish, and remove from heat.
  • Serve garnished with cheese and cilantro.
  • Note: I usually serve with some hot sauce on the table for those who like to add some heat.

This chowder was a disappointment. It was bland and watery. I won't be making it again.

This chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more liquid next time.

I added some chopped kale to this chowder and it was delicious! It added a nice touch of green and extra nutrients.

I'm a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great! The chowder was still very flavorful and hearty.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have some leftover ham after Easter and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this chowder in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and the chowder was delicious.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder to give it some flavor.
