Thai Corn Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Cut off the corn kernels; set aside. Combine the cobs, 1 cup potatoes, 1/2 cup scallions, 1 tablespoon ginger, the garlic, peppercorns and 5 cups water in a pot. Smash the lemongrass, if using, and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
• About 10 minutes before the broth is finished, melt the butter over medium-high heat in a separate pot. Add the remaining 1 cup potatoes, season with salt and cook until slightly soft, 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and the jalapeno; cook 1 minute. Add the corn kernels; cook until the vegetables are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Strain the broth, pressing out as much liquid as possible; discard the solids. Add 2 cups of the strained broth to the potatoes and corn; bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the coconut milk, basil and mint; season with salt. Stir until simmering. Remove from the heat and add the radishes, cilantro and lime juice. Top with diced tomato and the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a heavy medium saucepan, bring the corn, potatoes, onion, ginger, garlic, broth salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to a boil over high heat, adding water to cover.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. With a potato masher, mash enough of the mixture to create a thicker soup (if you wish).
• Add the coconut milk, basil, mint, and half of the cilantro and heat through.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve garnished with remaining cilantro and lime halves.
