POTATO CORN CHOWDER

This soup is hands-down my husband’s favorite thing I make.  My two year old loves it too.  Poor thing, though- sometimes I push the boundaries a bit much and throw in more adobo sauce than I should.  Last time I made it she had to kinda suck the air in between her teeth to cool her mouth down and take a drink of milk before going in to another bite, but she still ate two bowls!  Must be that quarter Indian in her.

Here’s a word on chipotle peppers with adobo sauce.  For those in America- it is super easy to find, just hit up the ethnic aisle in a regular grocery store (not Trader Joe’s, sadly).  For those in the UK- you can also substitute Mexican Tinga paste or a Smoked Paprika/Chipotle paste that you can find at even a Tescos.  If you are in a more diverse area of the UK than I am in County Armagh, you will likely have success in finding the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in an ethnic grocery.

Globalization isn’t alway such a bad thing.

I like designing my meals to be heavy on the vegetables and light on the meat, but I have a husband that has more carnivorous persuasions.  This soup is great because even though the meat is merely a condiment to the soup, it is hearty and smokey and satisfying.  I don’t gloat too much at the table about it being plant-based.

You will have no leftovers.  In fact, I always think I should double the recipe, always forget, and always kick myself.  If you are serving anyone beyond two adults and a toddler, you should for sure double the recipe.  Though, my biggest fear second only to giving someone food poisoning, is that I should run out of food.  So, this whole paragraph could be mainly insecurity talking.
