SPICY CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Place the shoepeg corn and fresh corn into a large pot with the wine and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, garlic, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion has turned translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Stir the pepper mixture into the pot with the corn along with the soy milk, oregano, and chipotle salsa. Return the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/3 cup of cool water, and stir into the simmering soup along with the honey, soy sauce, orange zest, and garlic powder. Simmer another 10 minutes to thicken the soup, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and cracked pepper before serving.

Steps:

• In a large soup kettle, melt butter & heat oil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, cut corn from cobs (a bunt pan and a sharp knife makes this easier). Save the cobs, cut in half. Add onion, bell pepper and bay leaf to hot butter/oil and saute, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender (but not browned). Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sift corn flour over veggies. Slowly whisk in broth, making sure to dissolve all of the flour. Stir in spices, add potatoes, corn and cobs. Brings to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 30 min, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Coarsely mash up the potatoes in the pot with the end of a whisk, potato masher or a few quick whirs of an emulsion blender. Add cream, and return to heat. Bring to a boil once more, for about a minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let thicken slightly, about 5-10 minutes. (Chowder is usually better the next day once the flavors have intensified.) Serve warm with crusty bread to dip. Enjoy!
