Southwestern Corn, Sweet Potato, and White Bean Chowder
with tortilla chips / cheese
Packed with colorful vegetables and white beans for protein, this is not your ordinary creamy corn chowder. Soups like this one are a great way to make use of all that great summer produce.
Smarts: Soups make great freezer meals. If you're planning to freeze this one, freeze it without the cream which can change texture and clump in the freezer.

Make
- Heat a large Dutch oven with oil over medium heat. Add zucchini and saute for 2 minutes to get it started cooking. Add spice blend and garlic and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute.
- Add in stock and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
- When chowder is boiling, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer, covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, ~15 minutes.
- When potatoes are tender, remove lid and stir in cream, beans, and corn. Simmer gently for a few more minutes to heat everything through. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Top with cheese and chives. You can serve tortilla chips on the side of the chowder or crumble them over top for some more texture.
