Sweetcorn Chowder

 


Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the onion.
  2. Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and add the chopped onion.   Cook gently over a low heat for around 10 minutes until it is soft and golden.
  3. Peel and crush the garlic cloves and add them to the pan together with the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper.  Cook for two minutes.
  4. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes.
  5. Using a sharp knife, remove the corn kernels from the cobs. 
  6. Add the chopped potatoes and corn kernels to the pan.
  7. Add the vegetable stock to the pan and bring to simmering point.   Cook gently for 20 minutes.
  8. Blend the soup in a food processor or by using a hand blender.
  9. At this stage you can add a little milk or water to thin the soup to your desired consistency.  I tend to keep it quite thick and hearty.
  10. Season with salt and pepper.
  11. When you serve the soup you can add a teaspoon of sour cream and some chopped chives to each bowl.
