Pumpkin and Chipotle Corn Chowder
Report
This pumpkin and chipotle corn chowder is so good. This tastes like a slightly-sweeter potato soup. It's nice and hearty.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- 7 cups pumpkin peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 quart chicken stock reduced-sodium
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely chopped
- 2 cups corn kernels frozen
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme, or to taste, sprigs
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 small bunch cilantro stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
Instructions
- Start by cutting up the pumpkin: see tutorial below.
- Set a large stock pot over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Once it is hot and bubbly, add the onion and the chopped pumpkin. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of flour and stir for about a minute until it is all incorporated.
- Slowly add in the quart of chicken broth, stirring all the while.
- Add the chopped chipotle peppers, the corn, cream, and thyme, and bring to a boil.
- Once it is boiling nicely, reduce to a simmer and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is fork tender but not completely falling apart.
- Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. You will want a pretty decent amount of salt. Taste as you go so you don't overdo it.
- Add most of the cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Stir and serve!
Notes
- This recipe calls for 2 chipotle peppers, which was perfect for my taste. It's bit of a kick, so if you aren't into that, add one.
