I get ridiculously excited when I see fresh corn in the grocery store. So usually this is exactly how it happens… I will head straight to the produce section, I scout out the corn bins…usually the bins are filled with other veggies but around this time of the year the bins are full of GOLDEN. GLORIOUS.SWEET. CORN. I literally stop and husk at least 10 ears right away. Then I immediately go home and make this curry corn chowder.
I might be a little obsessed with corn. But hey you still love me right? I have had it with Pasta. I’ve had it on the cob. I sneak them into salads. On second thought, I might need help. BBBBBut before we go down that road- I want to share another corn filled feast. YAYS!!!
This curry corn chowder might be all I need for the rest of time. It is creamy, spicy and corny. Wait that sounds wrong. Let me try again… It is really cornish— no cornily- you know what I mean. It is just so good.
For me this might be the prefect meal. Abdel has to constantly remind me that there is a world outside of making chowder. I love a good soup/chowder.
Really it goes back to growing up on an island. I know it is weird but it rains a lot in the caribbean especially during the summer for some odd reason. I’m positive there is an explanation for it an I will proceed to googling it…now. But I digress- So when it rains my grandmother would always put on a big pot of soup. Somehow she always knew when it would rain and she would magically produce the most delicious soup.
Guys, I think I just had an epiphany- Soup is my comfort food. Make it today because nothing is better than warming, creamy soup.
![This curry corn chowder recipe is warming from the curry powder. It's made with fresh shaved corn that's roasted and cooked in the slow cooker until it is creamy. Make it today!](https://www.cookingmaniac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/CORN_SOUP04.jpg)
Curry Corn Chowder
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 whole Yellow Onion Diced
- 4 ears Corn Shucked
- 1 jalepano Peppers De-seeded and Diced
- 3 cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
- 1 can coconut milk
- 3-4 sprig thyme
- 1 garlic clove minced
- pinch of sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 3 teaspoon spicy curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt more To Taste
- 4 yukon gold potatoes chopped into 1 inch cubes
- Cilantro For garnish
Instructions
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil. Put the corn in the pan and roast for about 3-5 mins until golden. Remove from heat.
- In the crock pot, place all the ingredients. Set the timer to 4 hours on high. Check every hour and stir if you you can. Check the potatoes with a fork. Take a potato masher and smash some of the potatoes. This will give the chowder a creamy texture. This is when you can make it as thick as you want or as loose as you want.
- Garnish with chipped cilantro and serve warm.
Lovely colors, hearty chowder 🙂
This looks so Delish !!
I am an unbelievably terrible cook, but this sounds amazing. Might be something I’ll have to try out one of these days!
I love using coconut milk in recipes. This looks delicious!!

I’m so glad you like it Tracy! I think the potato gives the chowder a great texture. Oh so creamy 🙂
I have the worst luck making corn chowder–it never turns out the way I want it. I’m going to have to try yours, because it looks sooo good! And I love the curry in there. I’ve never combined curry and corn before, but it sounds perfect!
