It’s raining in LA!

For one day, and one day only we have what feels like real fall weather (or at least to LA standards) and we are going to use that to our advantage and post this delicious and warm chowder recipe.

Today’s recipe is perfect for any rainy or fall day. You can make this chowder, curl up with a good book (or movie) and enjoy the warm comforts that a hearty chowder can bring you.

What’s great about this chowder? It’s all made in one pot and you don’t even have to really think about it. You throw everything into the crockpot and let her go and 4 hours later BAM! It’s magic!

Coconut-Curry Corn Chowder

Ingredients

• 3 bags of frozen corn
• 2 cups of yukon potatoes, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 large chipotle pepper, minced
• Juice from 1 lime
• 14 oz. can of fire roasted tomatoes
• 4 cups of chicken or veggie stock
• salt & pepper
• 1 tablespoon
• 1 can of coconut milk
• diced avocado (garnish on top)

Step 1:

Add 2 bags of corn, potatoes, red pepper, onion, chipotle pepper, lime juice, fire roasted tomatoes, stock, and salt & pepper to a crock pot. Mix. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours.

Step 2:

While the crock pot pool party gets started, we’ll make the coconut corn cream to thicken the chowder. In a saucepan, place the coconut milk and remaining bag of corn and curry. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3:

Let coconut corn cream cool a little before blending in smaller batches, probably 2-3 batches. Pour into crock pot and let the chowder party commence!
