Corn Chowder
One of the many tasty things you can make with a cob of corn.
Ingredients
- 8 ears fresh sweet yellow corn husked and silks removed and kernels cut from the cob
- 1 cup Smoked almonds
- 1 large onion diced
- 10 garlic cloves
- 1 lb fingerling potatoes cooked separate (boil 15 minutes or until soft) cut into rounds
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 sprigs of thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 quarts Corn stock
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives for garnish
- 6 Tbsp olive oil
- Tofurky or Beyond Meat Optional
Instructions
- In a large pot add the onion, garlic, thyme, and oil and sweat the onions (no color) and almonds. in a separate pot take the shucked husk add water and bring to a boil for 20 minutes
- When the onions are translucent add half of the shucked corn and let cook for roughly 5-10 more minutes. Add boiled corn water (corn stock) and bring to a simmer and cover for five more minutes
- Starting with cold water Bring to a simmer, until potatoes are tender, about 15- 20 minutes. If you want to get fancy, cook the potatoes in advance, let them cool, and then peel the skin before you cut your rounds.
- Transfer 2 1/2 cups of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth add about 2 tbsp of olive. NOTE: while blending you may need to add water while blending.
- After corn has cooked blend the cooked portion of corn add potatoes and remaining corn. Sprinkle each serving with chives
I love Corn on the Cob! Corn is so fresh during the U.S. summer seasons. I use it to make so many Vegan dishes, such as Corn Chowder, Cornbread, Corn Salad, and more!
