SWEET POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, render the bacon over medium-low heat until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate and reserve the fat in the pot. Turn the heat up to medium, add the sweet potato to the bacon fat and cook to al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sweet potato to the bacon plate.
• Add the garlic, bay leaves, celery, onion, bell pepper, salt and pepper to the bacon fat. Add a tablespoon of butter if there's not enough bacon fat to saute the vegetables. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are translucent and soft, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the flour to the pot and stir with the vegetables until fully incorporated. Stir in the vegetable stock and canned corn with its liquid. Bring to a simmer. Add the bacon and sweet potatoes back to the pot and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Cook for a few minutes to warm through.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the sweet potatoes into a 9x13 inch baking dish, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of corn oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes in oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally as they cook so the sweet potatoes cook evenly.
• Meanwhile, measure out 1 cup of corn kernels and set aside. Place the remaining corn into a blender, and puree with the water until smooth; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of corn oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the celery, onion, and shallot. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and dried thyme leaves; cook 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable broth, corn puree, bay leaf, salt, and cubed potato. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Once the potato is tender, remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the whole corn kernels, sweet potato, and chopped parsley. Return to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
