| 2 | poblano chiles, chopped |
| 1 | cup frozen corn kernels |

Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by chopping the onions, celery, and poblano chiles. Set aside.
-
Saute Aromatics: In a stock pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter (or heat oil) over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, celery, and poblano chiles, and saute until they become soft, which should take about 6 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the creamed corn, frozen corn kernels, chicken broth (reserving 1/4 cup), sugar, red cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
-
Prepare Thickening Agent: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with the reserved 1/4 cup of chicken broth until well combined.
-
Thicken Soup: Stir the flour mixture into the soup, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. This will help thicken the chowder to a creamy consistency.
-
Add Shrimp and Herbs: Gently add the raw shrimp and chopped cilantro to the pot. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque.
-
Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
-
Serve: Ladle the piping hot Poblano Corn Chowder with Shrimp into bowls and serve immediately. For an extra kick of flavor, pass around some hot sauce at the table.
