Poblano Corn Chowder with Shrimp
June 03, 2018
Mild poblano chiles in a creamy corn chowder.
The soup was served with Tuna Melts so I left out the shrimp.
I hope you have some cans of corn on hand, let's get cookin'...
You'll need,
butter, flour, onion, celery, poblano chiles, cream-style and whole kernel corn, chicken broth, cream, sugar, cayenne pepper, shrimp, and cilantro
After you finely chop the onion and celery in a food processor,
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion-celery mixture; sauté until soft.
Add the creamed corn and the next 5 ingredients,
the whole kernel corn,
chiles,
chicken broth and cream,
and the sugar.
I left the cayenne pepper out for our resident lightweight, but I do keep an assortment of chiles and hot sauce on the table.
Whisk in the flour and butter mixture, then simmer to blend the flavors.
Mmm rich creamy chowder.
Yes, I did dunk a corner of my sandwich into it.
