Chipotle Corn Chowder
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups red potatoes, diced
  • half an onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups sweet corn kernels
  • 1 large zucchini, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1-2 individual chipotle peppers
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add all vegetables + salt and sauté until tender-crisp. Add the broth and simmer until potatoes are soft.
  2. Transfer 3 cups of soup to a high-powered blender. Add the chipotles, jalapeno, half and half. Blend until desired smoothness (I go for super smooth with this one).
  3. Stir the blended mixture into the large pot to combine with remaining soup. Serve into bowls and top with lots of fresh basil, pesto, olive oil, hot sauce (!), and maybe some seeds or nuts to be fancy.
