Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  4. Blend the Chowder: Use an immersion blender to puree part of the chowder for a creamy texture while leaving some corn and potato pieces intact for added texture.
