Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder
Report
This vegan corn chowder gets its creaminess from pureeing a portion of the soup with an immersion blender.

Ingredients
- 6 corn cobs and kernels divided, ears
- 6 cups of water
- 5 poblano pepper large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onion diced, medium
- 12 ounces potato peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, Yukon gold variety
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- chives for garnish
Instructions
- Place the corn cobs in a large soup pot and add the water. Make sure the cobs are in a single layer and break them in half if needed. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cobs and season the broth to taste with salt.
- Meanwhile, roast the poblano peppers until they are blackened all over. This can be done either by broiling them for about 10 minutes per side or roasting them directly over a flame. Once roasted, place the peppers in a bowl and cover to let them steam for five minutes. Strip off the charred skin. Remove the stems and seeds and roughly chop the pepper flesh. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, lowering the heat to medium, until the onion is softened and beginning to brown, stirring every few minutes.
- Add the potatoes to the pot and stir to coat with the oil and onions. Stir in the corn-infused broth, bay leaves, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Add the corn to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender. Remove the bay leaves and, using an immersion blender, puree about ⅓ of the soup. This will help add creaminess and body. Stir in the poblano peppers. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Serve warm, topped with chives to garnish.
Notes
- The corn broth can be made ahead of time. Just strain it and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it!
