curried chicken corn chowder.

09/20/2012

OK people.

Make this corn chowder FAST while the fall harvest for corn is still going on.

Seriously this one of my favorite soups next to this one and this one.

The corn was SO FRESH that you could literally eat it raw off the cob.

And if you are asΒ obsessed as I am with anything curry-flavored then this soup is for you.

Mr. Peaches has been workingΒ withΒ little kiddos recentlyΒ and catching all of their little sniffles so this was the perfect remedy for his sickness.

Serve it with some warm whole-grain crusty bread, perhapsΒ on a rainy dayΒ whileΒ snuggling on the couch and watchingΒ 9 episodes of Girls on HBO,Β and it tastes even better.

xoxo,
peaches and cake

Curried Chicken Corn Chowder
Adapted from Kendra Doss, Taste of Home Magazine
Yields 8 servings (2 ΒΌ quarts)
Time: About 2 hours

Printer-friendly version

3 medium yellow onions, diced

8 celery ribs (from 1 whole head of celery), diced

1 tablespoon butter

3 14.5-oz. cans reduced-sodium chicken broth

5 large ears of fresh corn, kernels removed (or use 5 cups frozen corn if fresh is not available)

2 ΒΌ teaspoons curry powder

ΒΌ teaspoon salt

ΒΌ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Dash cayenne pepper

Β½ cup all-purpose flour

Β½ cup milk (Any kind will do. I used 1% milk.)

1 to 1 ΒΌ lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

ΒΌ cup minced fresh cilantro

whole grain crusty bread, for serving

In a large Dutch oven or pot, sautΓ© onions and celery in butter over medium-low heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the broth, corn, curry powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for at least 15 minutes or more.

Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil and poach chicken until cooked through (This will range anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on how thick your chicken breast is. Just keep an eye on it.) Remove chicken from pot and set aside. Dice into small pieces.

In a small bowl, whisk flour and milk with a fork until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir into the pot. Increase heat and bring back to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and cilantro; heat through. Season to taste. Serve with warm crusty bread on the side.

*Tip: I haven’t tried this yet, but I imagine this soup could be made vegetarian byΒ substitutingΒ garbanzo beans and vegetable broth for the chicken and chicken broth!

One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
