Corn and Sweet Potato Chowder with Chipotle



This is another Mark Bittman recipe and I had really high expectations because of how much I love the quinoa tabouleh. I think I set myself up for failure in that respect. I did not love this nearly as much. It's still a good soup, but I wanted it to be the best soup I'd ever had. Which it wasn't. the best soup I ever had as a pumpkin soup in a French restaurant in the Dominican Republic. The pumpkin soup still holds the title. What I do like about this soup this that it feels healthy when you eat it. Yeah okay there's cream in it so it's not the world's healthiest soup. But it's only half a cup of cream in the whole batch, and what I mean by feels healthy is that there's beautiful chunks of healthy veggies and there's nothing like fresh ingredients. For the love of God DO NOT make this with canned corn. I hate effing canned corn. Use corn fresh off the cob as directed in the recipe of just go eat at some grease pit fast food joint. Seriously.


Make this soup if you like a little spice in your culinary life and if you have an appreciation of a chunky soup.
