Coconut Corn Chowder

On February 24, 2013

Winter is slowly coming to an end. How do I know for sure? Our little pal Punxsutawney Phil said so.

With the end of winter comes the end (for the most part) of thick warming to the bone soups. This week’s Sunday Supper brings a number of delicious soups from veggie, to chicken, to beef and even chilled soups!

I’ve never seen so many soup recipes in one place and don’t they all look fantastic?

Coconut Corn Chowder

Coconut and corn go together perfectly… in my book anyways. With this soup, I think you will agree.

It is composed of a depth of flavors that you would not expect and just the right amount of heat.

Be happy to curl up with this soup as you say goodbye to winter.

Kitchen Notes

If you like a little more heat, add a 1/4 teaspoon of crushed read pepper while you cook the shallots and garlic.
For a traditional chowder consistency, do not blend the soup at all.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, diced
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 russet potato, chopped
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
3 cups vegetable broth
3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (13-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Sriracha or other hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, then add the potato, tomatoes, and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the corn, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 – 20 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk and basil. If desired, transfer soup to a blender or food processor, or use an immersion blender to blend into a creamier soup.
To serve, ladle into bowls and top with more basil. Drizzle a small amount of sriracha or hot sauce on top of each bowl if desired.
