Corn Pastrami Chowder is a hearty soup that can be made in under an hour, with all the sweetness of corn, saltiness of pastrami and a mild kick from poblano peppers. My family adores this soup. It’s one of the soups that my kids will actually devour.
Here’s the lowdown on the ingredients. Corn Pastrami Chowder can be made with corn cut fresh off the cob if you prefer. It can even be made with canned corn. I prepared the final version with frozen corn because I find that to be the most convenient on busy weeknights. The parsley can also be fresh, frozen or dried. I’ve tested it every which way. Fresh and frozen lend the most flavor.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the equipment, here is a fun hack. If you do not have an immersion blender available, then puree the Corn Pastrami Chowder by carefully pouring it into your blender, then return it to the pan after blending.

Unlike bisque which is smooth, chowder is thick and chunky. Traditionally it's filled with pieces of vegetables, seafood and/or meat. It also usually includes milk or cream, and gets its thick texture from hearty vegetables, like potatoes.
Onion, celery, garlic, and red bell pepper – They create the savory base of the soup. Yukon Gold potatoes – They add delicious chunks to this corn chowder recipe, and they contribute to its creamy texture. Old Bay Seasoning – It adds more savory flavor and a hint of spice. Smoked paprika – For smokiness.
History. In the United States, recipes for corn chowder date back to at least 1884, at which time a corn chowder recipe was published in the Boston Cook Book, authored by Mary Lincoln of the Boston Cooking School.
However, chowder can also get a bad reputation due to the large amounts of butter, bacon, and heavy cream that are often used to thicken it and add flavor. As a result, it can be a super-rich dish.
Sometimes soup just needs to simmer longer to reach the perfect consistency. Check to see if the vegetables are tender, and then taste the broth. If the soup tastes a bit watery, give it more time.
The difference between chowder, soup, and stew is that chowder is a soup made with broth that is thickened with flour and cream, with seafood and/or vegetables mixed in. Soup is made with water or broth and can host a variety of ingredients like pasta, vegetables, fruits, grains, meats or seafood.
Types. Chowder is a soup with cream or milk mixed with ingredients such as potatoes, sweet corn, smoked haddock, clams and prawns, etc. Some cream-style chowders do not use cream, and are instead prepared using milk and a roux to thicken them.
Traditionally, clam chowder is made with fresh or canned clams, clam broth (or clam juice in some recipes), potatoes, onions, celery, and salt pork or bacon. The clams and their broth are the defining flavor of this soup.
Corn Chowder is a type of chowder that originated in the Midwestern and Southern United States, where corn is a staple crop. The dish was popularized in the 1800s, when settlers in these regions would use the abundant corn harvest to create a thick and hearty soup.
The word chowder is a corruption of the French chaudière (“cauldron”), and chowder may have originated among Breton fishermen who brought the custom to Newfoundland, whence it spread to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and New England.
The word chowder comes from a combination of the French word chaudière, meaning cauldron, and the English word jowter, referring to a fishmonger. The rule for creating a classic New England Clam Chowder is to keep it simple. Aside from the mirepoix and the potatoes, there are no other veggies.
Put a tablespoon of either into a small bowl and stir in 2-3 tbsp of the soup until you have a smooth mixture. Stir this back into the soup and bring it to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the starch granules to burst to thicken, and to cook out any flour flavour.
For the creamiest chowder, you'll want to use heavy cream. If you don't have or don't want to use heavy cream, you could use a light cream, but you'll want to mix in about 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with the lighter cream before adding to the soup, to help thicken the soup.
What if we told you it's possible to thicken corn chowder without dumping in tons of dairy and sacrificing flavor? Several means can help you achieve this goal, but one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to do so is with a simple roux of all-purpose flour, oil or butter, and broth (sometimes with a touch of milk).
I made a classic slurry by whisking cornstarch and hot broth until smooth in a small bowl. I drizzled it into the soup gradually, and brought it to a boil to fully activate, thicken, and cook out the starch flavor before adding more.
