Curried Corn Chowder With Coconut Milk Recipes

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, curry powder and tomato paste and saute to toast the curry powder and warm the tomato paste, about 2 minutes. Add corncobs, half the corn kernels, chicken stock, coconut milk, tamarind paste, brown sugar and salt. Stir to combine, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove cobs and discard. Transfer, in batches, to a blender and blend until completely smooth. (See Cook's Note.)
• Return soup to the pot and bring back to a low simmer. Add shrimp, lime juice and remaining corn. Simmer until shrimp is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and Fresno chile and serve.

Steps:

• In large pot over medium-high heat, saute onion, garlic and thyme in 2 tablespoons butter (not clarified), stirring occasionally to keep onion and garlic from sticking. When onion begins to reduce in volume, in 5 to 10 minutes, lower heat to medium and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until onion is translucent. Add corn, stock and sugar and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and let simmer for 30 minutes. In separate saute pan, warm the 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium. Add curry powder, and cook until it becomes fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove soup from heat to puree. If using an immersion blender, puree soup in the pot. Otherwise, let soup cool a bit. Then transfer half the soup to bowl of food processor (or blender) fitted with metal blade and blend until smooth. Return pureed soup to pot. Return pot to stove over medium heat and stir in curry butter. Stir in coconut milk, cilantro, salt and pepper and cook another 15 minutes, until flavors come together. Serve warm with additional freshly ground pepper.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
• Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.
