NOTE: This recipe was updated on 11/25/20 to include new information. It was originally published on 9/11/17. Not now! I am getting my sweet corn fix by transforming those awesome golden kernels into a creamy corn chowder, and I’m including a nice variety of sweet peppers that I picked straight from our garden. Perfection! I am calling this recipe “The BEST Corn Chowder” out there because it is a touch different from all the other recipes you’ll find with a simple web search. This recipe includes lot of chili peppers, which brings in a lot of additional flavor. I deeply LOVE the flavors of sweet corn in a great corn chowder, but the addition of sweet peppers (or spicy, if you’d like!) as well as my chosen seasonings and ingredients sets this above and beyond. Yes, it is my favorite, and I love it so. I hope you love it, too. Right? Making the soup is a simple enough procedure. Let’s break it down. Next, add the corn and garlic and cook for 3 or so minutes, until the corn begins to turn an appealing golden color. Reserve some of the cooked corn kernels for garnish, if you’d like. I like the way the corn kernels look spooned over the top of the serving bowl. Yum! Add the flour to the pot and stir it in. Cook it down for another minute. Then, slowly stir in the water or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and add potatoes, chili flakes and basil. Taste it for salt and pepper and add those in to your preference. Remove from heat and cool it down a bit. Stir in the yogurt and make sure it is completely incorporated. This will add in a nice touch of creaminess and flavor. Finally, serve into bowls and top with chopped cilantro, reserved corn kernels and chili peppers. BOOM! Enjoy! Your wonderful corn chowder is ready to serve. I am calling this The BEST Corn Chowder Recipe because I like it more than any others out there! I do like it spicy, my friends. Gotta love a nice, spicy soup with wonderful corn flavor. If you enjoy this recipe, I hope you’ll leave a comment with some STARS. Also, please share it on social media.
