Ingredients
  

If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix follow the recipe below:

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 200g onions quartered
  • 40g olive oil
  • 250g tinned sweetcorn drained (see Notes)
  • 650g sweet potatoes peeled, diced (2 cm)
  • 300g milk
  • 300g water
  • 1 vegetable stock cube for 0.5 l, crumbled
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 pinches ground cayenne pepper optional – see Cookidoo Tips
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground black pepper plus extra for sprinkling
  • 150g double cream I use Elmlea to reduce the calories!

Instructions
 

  • Place the garlic, onions, oil and 200g of the sweetcorn in the mixing bowl then chop 5 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula then sauté 5 minutes/120°C/speed 1.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, milk, water, vegetable stock, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt and pepper then cook 30 minutes/90°C/speed 1.
  • Add the cream and remaining 50g sweetcorn then mix 30 seconds/reverse/speed 2.
  • Divide between serving bowls, sprinkle with pepper then serve immediately.

Notes

  • I don’t tend to buy tins of sweetcorn as I’ve usually got a bag of frozen in the freezer, so for this soup I use frozen corn and defrost it in a bowl of hot tap water.
Cookidoo Tips
  • This colourful chowder is a comforting soup suitable for vegetarians. The spice adds a kick which complements the sweet flavours, although it can be omitted if you’re cooking for children.
  • It also freezes well, so is a great make-ahead lunch option.
