Preparation

Step 1

If corn is in season use fresh ears of corn- if not- roast thawed frozen kernels on a baking sheet.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and stir in the cumin and curry or chili powder; cook for one minute to infuse the oil with spice. Add the chopped garlic and onion. Stir and cook for five minutes. Add the roasted corn, sweet potato, canned fire roasted tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, green chilies; stir for a minute.

2. Add in the broth. Cover and bring to a high simmer. Lower the heat and simmer gently, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about twenty minutes or so. Add the coconut milk and cooked chicken pieces. Stir and season with sea salt and ground pepper; and add a drizzle of organic raw agave to taste. Heat through gently, don't boil it.

3. Just before serving, add the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice. Stir. Taste test. Adjust seasoning.

Note: The lime juice brightens the taste and accents the spice. Agave cools the hotness.

Garnish with a lime wedge.

1. This chowder works well cooked slowly in a Crock Pot; add the coconut milk and cooked chicken 30 minutes before serving and heat through.
Add the lime juice and cilantro just before serving.
