SOUTHWESTERN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a medium/large Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the corn, potatoes, onion, poblano, bell pepper, celery, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Stir to combine. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, while stirring constantly. Add the broth and water and stir to combine. Drop in the bay leaf.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's not done until the potatoes are fully cooked through and very easily pierced through with a fork.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Using kitchen tongs, remove the bay leaf. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the soup (about half liquid, half solids) to a blender. Securely fasten the lid and be careful to avoid the hot steam as you blend until completely smooth. Add the butter and blend again.
• Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the cilantro, crème fraîche (see note if using sour cream or Greek yogurt) and lime juice. Stir to combine. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and be generous with the black pepper, to taste. If you'd like more spice, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more chili powder, to taste.
• Divide the chowder into bowls and top with garnishes of your choice. Leftover chowder will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days or for several months frozen.

POBLANO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cut up the potatoes and remove the kernels of corn from the cobs with a knife. Set aside in a large bowl, or wherever you have room. (I held the corn IN a bowl while I cut so the kernels didn't fly everywhere so much.).
• In a large pot (this recipe makes about 14 cups, so pretty large), boil the broth and the corn cobs together for about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove the cobs and let cool. Scrape the remaining corn bits into the pot of broth. You can use a butter knife or spoon. Let this pot rest for a moment.
• In a large skillet, melt butter or use non-fat cooking spray and saute the chopped onions and bell peppers until just tender.
• Add to this skillet the garlic and poblanos and continue to saute until poblanos are tender too.
• Dump the onion/pepper/garlic mixture into the broth pot. Add the chipotle(s) (whole so they can be removed if you like) and some of the adobo sauce (2 T. is a rough estimate).
• Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes and corn and simmer until potatoes are al dente ;) Maybe 20 minutes?.
• Turn off the heat. Add cream.
• Ladle about half of the soup into a blender (you may have to do this in batches) and blend with the cheese. (I do 2 batches, so I use half the cheese in the first batch and half in the second.).
• Call everyone to dinner.
• You can offer cilantro as a garnish (or even add a bit to the soup pot if everyone likes it.).
