Cream-Free Spicy Corn and Soyrizo Chowder
with poblano peppers / zucchini

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
Our original cream-free chowder has been a long time favorite in many of our community members’ kitchens, so we decided it was time for an updated version. This time around, we’re using a different combination of vegetables, but still bringing you the option to get that creamy chowder texture without adding a drop of heavy cream.

Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven with oil over medium heat. Add poblano peppers and onions with a pinch of salt. Saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add soyrizo and saute until heated through, breaking it apart as it cooks, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add vinegar to pan and deglaze, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  4. Pour stock into pan and add potatoes and zucchini. Cover pan with a lid (to prevent stock from reducing) and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, ~20 minutes. (Optional step: Use an immersion blender to blend a small portion of the soup right in the Dutch oven. This will give the soup a creamy texture without needing the addition of cream.)
  5. Remove pan from heat and stir in corn and adobo sauce. (Note: If you are concerned about spice, taste the soup first and only add adobo sauce until it is spiced to your liking.) Season with some salt and pepper.
  6. Divide soup between serving bowls. Top with cilantro and yogurt. Enjoy!
