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.
