Corn and Pumpkin Chowder Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears of corn)
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients:

• Start by seasoning the corn kernels with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

• In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add Corn and Pumpkin:

• Add the seasoned corn kernels and pumpkin puree to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

Simmer with Broth:

• Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Blend the Soup:

• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend in batches, then return it to the pot.

Add Cream and Seasonings:

• Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Season the chowder with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, you can add a bit more green tea bbq seasonings at this point for an extra layer of flavor.

Serve the Chowder:

• Ladle the corn and pumpkin chowder into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
