SMOKY CORN CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK
Using frozen corn means that this chowder can be made year-round, but feel free to use fresh corn when it's at its peak in late summer. The fresh kernels contain a delicious milky substance that will add flavor and help to thicken the soup. Smoked paprika gives this corn chowder a smoky flavor that's further accentuated by vibrant poblano chiles. Starchy russet potatoes work particularly well in this soup and help thicken it, however, any potato variety will work.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
- Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.
