Curried Corn Chowder.

This recipe comes from Once Upon a Tart... by Frank Mentesana and Jerome Audureau w/ Carolynn Carreno. I changed some elements to suit my palate, but it is simply awesome.

Ingredients:
        • large onion
        • garlic
        • 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
        • 4 tablespoon of unsalted butter
        • corn (lots of it - like 4 ears worth or more)
        • 4 cups of stock
        • 1 teaspoon sugar
        • 1 tablespoon of curry powder
        • 1/4 cup of coconut milk

Instructions:
1. Dice the onion, mince the garlic.
2. Saute onion, garlic, thyme in a large pot with half the prescribed butter. Saute until onions are soft and translucent.
3. Pour in the stock, sugar, corn - salt & pepper to taste. I also took the liberty of throwing in some leftover chicken bits at this point (but you don't have to).
4. Bring the liquid to a boil, then simmer for half an hour.
5. In another pan, melt the remaining butter and pour in the curry powder, cook it until the butter and powder is well combined. Then pour this into the soup.
6. Add the coconut milk.
7. Salt and pepper to taste - add cilantro to serve.

The Result?


yummy.
