Method

Chowder Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Poblano Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl, covering it with plastic wrap to steam for about 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Corn and Broth

    Stir in the fresh corn kernels, roasted poblano peppers, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Chowder

    After simmering, use an immersion blender to blend the chowder until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer it in batches to a countertop blender. Once blended, return to the pot.

  5. 5

    Finish with Coconut Milk

    Stir in the coconut milk and heat through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Garnishing the Chowder

  1. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chowder into bowls. Top with diced avocado, crumbled Cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chowder.
