Small-Town Charm: Chili Crimini Corn Chowder takes the classic corn chowder and adds a little spice and a touch of creamy indulgence. Roasted anaheim chilies and jalapenos add a smoky, spicy flavor that balances perfectly with the sweet corn and earthy mushrooms. This hearty soup is perfect for a chilly evening, and can be customized to be as spicy or creamy as desired. Top with a sprinkle of shaved parmesan cheese for an extra touch of umami.

Instructions

1.Roast the anaheim chilies and jalapenos until blistered and charred, then transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before removing the charred skin, stems, and seeds.
2.Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3.Add the mushrooms, corn, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.Stir in the flour until it forms a paste, then gradually pour in the vegetable stock, stirring constantly to prevent clumps.
5.Add the heavy cream and roasted chilies. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chowder has thickened.
6.Serve with shaved parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
