The weather is getting warmer, but here is Illinois it's still pretty dang cold. This is one of those soups that is super comforting, and low cal!
Makes 6 servings, 1 serving is 178 calories!
What you'll need:
2 leeks, thinly sliced
3 shallots, thinly sliced 4 cloves garlic, minced Kernels sliced from 4 ears fresh corn, or 4 cups thawed frozen or drained canned corn 2 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and diced (optional) 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 6 cups vegetable broth 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (I'd say this is optional. However, it does make the chowder kind of creamy) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or 1 teaspoon dried 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
What you'll need to do:
1. Put the leeks, shallots, and garlic in a medium dry pot over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the corn, potatoes, celery, and red pepper flakes.
2. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes, making sure the vegetables don’t brown. Stir in the broth and soymilk. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 20 minutes, using a ladle to skim off any foam that forms at the surface.
3. Discard the foam. Stir in the chives and thyme. Serve hot.
Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Yellow Corn Chowder will keep for 3 days. Reheat before serving.
Note: If you replace the yellow corn with sweet white corn, this soup will taste just as good. I prefer yellow corn for this recipe because the color contrasts so well with the other ingredients.
