Roasted Corn Chowder With Chipotle Pepper Recipe - Cooking Index
The more caramelized the corn is, the richer the soup will taste. Add some cooked lobster meat or crab meat, just before serving, and call it dinner. Ground chipotle chili pepper is a Southwest specialty made from smoked jalapeno peppers. Its smoky flavor adds another dimension to the chowder. If you can't track it down in a specialty store, you may substitute cayenne pepper. If you don't have the patience to roast the corn, just cut the kernels from the husk, then saute in some butter over medium-high heat until they start to brown. If you go this way, dice the bell pepper up and saute it with the corn.
Courses: Soup| 8 | Corn ears in their husks | |
| 1 | Red bell pepper | |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Olive oil |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Sweet onions - diced (medium) |
| 6 | Garlic cloves - diced | |
| 6 cups | 1422ml | Homogenized milk |
| 1 1/2 cups | 24g / 0.8oz | Cilantro leaves - finely chopped |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | Salt |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Ground chipotle pepper - (to 1/2 tspn) |
Pull off most of the corn husks, leaving one or two layers intact on the cob.
Roast corn over a hot grill, turning one quarter rotation every 3 minutes or so, until the husk has blackened and the kernels have begun to brown (aka caramelize). While you are at it, roast the bell pepper in the same manner until all of the skin has blackened.
Remove corn from the grill and let cool. Husk corn, then use a sharp knife to cut kernels from the cob into a large bowl.
In a saute pan over medium-high heat, saute garlic and onions for approximately 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Skin and seed the bell pepper, then dice it finely.
In a food processor, puree half the corn and all of the onions and garlic.
In a soup pot, combine the pureed mixture, remaining corn, cilantro leaves, bell pepper, milk, salt, pepper and chipotle pepper. Simmer (do not let it boil) over medium heat for 15 minutes.
