Corn And Sweet Potato Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Dice 1 1/2 sweet potatoes and roughly chop the remaining 2 1/2.
• Place diced sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes. Add roughly chopped sweet potatoes and cook 10 minutes more.
• Add vegetable stock to the stockpot with the vegetables and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Mix cream, 1/2 the creamed corn, brown sugar, coriander, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger into the stockpot. Simmer soup for 5 minutes.
• Puree soup using an immersion blender. Stir in remaining creamed corn, reserved boiled sweet potatoes, and whole kernel corn. Simmer soup 20 minutes more, stirring a few times. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.

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.
• Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and sliced green onions before serving.

Steps:

• Sling the butter into a soup kettle and melt over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook till crisp. Scoop out the bacon and drain on paper towels. Save for later--don't nibble too much.
• Pour off all but 1/4 cup of fat from the pot. Toss in the onions and peppers, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook till soft and then throw in the garlic, cooking it all for 1 minute more. Sprinkle on the flour and mix into the veggies. Dump in the broth and potatoes. Cover the pot and bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or till the potatoes are tender. Add the shredded carrots and corn. Cover and simmer everything 5 to 6 minutes longer to blend the flavors.
• Stir in the half-and-half. Season with the thyme, cayenne, some more salt, and lots of freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and the bacon bits you've been saving. Give it one last stir, and ladle it up piping hot.

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.
