Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder (Thermomix)
This creamy sweet potato and corn chowder made in the Thermomix is a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for cosy nights. Packed with sweet potatoes, corn, and a flavourful soup, it’s easy to prepare and full of flavour!
Ingredients
If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix follow the recipe below:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200g g (7.1 oz) onions quartered
- 40g g (3 tbsp) olive oil
- 250g g (1 ½ cups) tinned sweetcorn drained (see Notes)
- 650g g (1.4 lb) sweet potatoes peeled and diced (2cm)
- 300g g (1 ¼ cups) milk (I use semi-skimmed)
- 300g g (1 ¼ cups) water
- 1 vegetable stock cube (for 500ml), 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 g (¾ cup) 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/120C/speed 1.
- Add the sweet potatoes, milk, water, vegetable stock, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt and pepper then cook 30 minutes/90C/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
- Sweetcorn - 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.
- Herbs - try adding herbs like thyme, parsley or coriander for fresh flavour.
- Protein boost - you could add protein-rich ingredients like cooked chicken, bacon or beans to make the chowder heartier.
- 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.
