PERUVIAN CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER - CHUPE DE POLLO Y MAíZ

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced red onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add two tablespoon of butter, a pound of bone-in chicken, sliced fresh corn, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook covered, on medium heat, 20-30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Discard the skin and bones. Chop or shred the meat and return it to the pot. Add one can of sweet corn and the canning liquid. Stir in the cup of milk; simmer for 10 minutes.
• Season the soup with 1/2 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Toss in one cup of corn tortilla chips and stir to combine and soften the chips.
• Using an immersion blender, puree some of the soup to thicken to a chowder consistency (avoiding the fresh corn). Alternatively, ladle some of the soup into a food processor or standard blender, puree it, and return to the pot.
• Serve the chowder topped with some of the remaining chips and cilantro. Sprinkle with feta cheese and hot sauce if desired.

Steps:

Add white pepper and maple to taste. Serve and garnish with hot sauce.

MEXICAN STREET CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a wide, deep saucepan over a medium-high heat. Tip in the sweetcorn, keeping it in a single layer as much as possible. Cook undisturbed for 2 mins so the kernels turn golden on the bottom. Stir, spread out again and repeat until the sweetcorn is golden and charred in spots. Cook for another 1 min, stirring, then tip into a large bowl.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onion and potato for 3-4 mins until slightly softened and pale golden. Add the spices and cook for a further minute, then pour in the stock. Spoon 3 tbsp of the sweetcorn into a small bowl, then add the rest to the pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 5-10 mins, or until the potato is fully softened.
• Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze in the lime juice. Blitz using a hand blender (or tip into a blender to do this) until smooth and creamy. Season to taste. Divide the soup between four bowls and top with the reserved sweetcorn, the chilli, lime slices, feta and a sprinkle of paprika.
