Mayo Corn chowder with roasted poblanos

2 poblano or Anaheim chilies, halved lengthwise and seeded

2 or 3 Yukon gold or red-skinned potatoes, about 1 pound total weight,

peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

1/4 cup diced celery

1/2 red bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and diced

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 4 ears corn) or frozen

corn kernels, thawed

2 cups vegetable stock or broth

1 cup 1 percent low-fat milk

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

 

 

 

 

Preheat a gas grill or broiler (grill). Position the cooking rack 4 to

6 inches from the heat source.

 

Arrange the chilies skin-side down on the grill rack, or skin-side up

on a broiler pan lined with aluminum foil. Grill or broil until the

skins begin to blacken, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with

plastic wrap and let steam until the skins loosen, about 10 minutes.

Peel the chilies, discarding the blackened skin, and chop coarsely.

Set aside.

 

Put the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover, and bring to a

boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered,

until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to

a small bowl. With a potato masher, partially mash the potatoes and

set aside.

 

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the

onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until the vegetables are

softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook

for 3 to 4 minutes longer. Stir in the roasted chilies and the

partially mashed potatoes. Add the corn, vegetable stock, milk, pepper

and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer uncovered until the soup

thickens, 25 to 30 minutes.

 

Ladle into warmed bowls and sprinkle with the cilantro and oregano.

Serve immediately.

Dietitian's tip: Dark green poblanos take on a smoky flavor when

roasted. That smokiness makes them a perfect contrast for the sweet

corn flavor of this filling main course.
