Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Corn and Jalapeno Chowder

[heart_this] · Sep 23, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Corn and Jalapeno Chowder

A creamy chowder with corn, jalapenos and potatoes!

Soups and chowders are a great transition food between summer and fall! You can enjoy some of late summer produce in a bowl of warming and comforting goodness as the weather starts to cool down! This is a chowder with a thick and creamy broth, tender potatoes along with plenty of corn and some spicy jalapenos. This chowder is super easy to make and it takes almost no time at all. The creaminess comes from heavy cream added to the broth and it’s thickened with a simple butter and flour roux. The jalapenos add a spicy heat and the corn brings a balancing sweetness. I like to serve it with a garnish of cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese and a splash of lime juice!
