Spicy Chorizo Corn Chowder

Some of corn's best partners--medium-hot chiles, chorizo, and basil--join up in this simple dish. It's substantial enough to call a chowder, but light enough for summer.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat broiler. Oil a rimmed baking sheet. Set chiles on sheet and broil, turning as needed, until blackened all over, about 18 minutes total. Let cool, then peel, remove stem and seeds, and chop; set aside.
Step 2
Cook chorizo in a large saucepan over medium heat, breaking sausage into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until meat and fat have separated. Strain through a fine strainer and discard fat. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
Step 3
Return chorizo to pan and stir in corn and broth. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is just tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, add cream and poblanos, and cook 2 minutes more to blend flavors.
Step 4
Ladle soup into bowls, sprinkle with onion and basil, and serve with lime for squeezing on top.
Super!
I've made this two times now with two different chorizos. I and my husband both love it! It's not hard to make either, which is a big plus.

This was a big hit. It tasted so good. It will become a regular staple recipe. Thank you Yvette for sharing this. Hair designers can't steer you wrong.

Fabulous ! Needed to almost double the recipe and it vanished within minutes. Big hit with the entire family including 3 in their early teens. Followed the recipe as written which is very easy. Have request for an encore. DG

Made some changes so I cannot accurately review as written. I used Soyrizo rather than chorizo and fat free half and half rather than whipping cream. Came together in 15 minutes of mostly hands off time. http://www.dishoverdinner.com/2013/07/vegitarian-spicy-chorizo-corn-chowder.html
