Directions

Prep 25 minCook 25 min

1
Peel the potato and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. Coarsely chop the red bell pepper, discarding the ribs and seeds.
2
In a blender, combine 2 cups of corn and 1 cup of broth. Blend until the mixture is almost smooth.
3
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and chopped red bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
4
Pour the remaining 2 cups of corn, remaining 1 cup of broth, and the corn purée from the blender into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
6
Stir in the heavy cream and season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the chowder into bowls and sprinkle with the chopped scallions.
