Bolivian Corn Chowder Recipes

BOLIVIAN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add shredded potatoes, both cans of corn and the chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
• Add diced green chilies (don't drain), chipotle sauce, garlic, oregano and cumin. Continue cooking, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Shortly before serving time, add the half-and-half and salt. With a sharp knife, cut half a lime in very thin slices and float on top of the soup. Cut remaining lime into quarters and serve on the side.
