Roasted Hatch Chile & Corn Chowder
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1/3 cups Diced Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 whole Russet Potato, Diced Small
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Red-chile Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 2 ears Corn, Roasted, Kernels Cut Off
- 1/2 cups Diced, Roasted Hatch Chiles, Skins And Seeds Removed
- 2 teaspoons Lime Zest
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Cilantro, Torn
- Mexican Crema Or Sour Cream For Garnish
- Add the olive oil and butter into a large stock pot over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and cook until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the potatoes and the heavy cream and continue to boil until the potatoes soften (just test it with your fork; you don't want them mushy).
- Add the spices, salt and pepper along with the corn and diced chiles. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, and add the lime zest, juice and cilantro.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the chowder and set it aside. Then use a stick blender to puree the remaining chowder. Return the 1/2 cup of chowder to the mixture and stir.
- Remove from the heat and serve in individual bowls drizzled with Mexican crema or sour cream, and extra cilantro.
