Roasted Sweet Potato & Corn Chowder
This chowder is not only packed with flavor but also incredibly easy to prepare. The combination of roasted sweet potatoes and corn creates a perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. Here’s how you can make it!
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cumin, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, add them to the onion and garlic mixture in the pot. Stir in the corn, vegetable broth, and bring everything to a simmer.
- Allow the chowder to simmer for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. If you prefer a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend part of the chowder, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
