Corn Chowder

In a large pot over medium heat add butter, onion and garlic. Saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn and chicken broth and cook for about 5 minutes to soften corn.

With a hand blender, process the mixture until smooth. Or you can do this in small batches, adding some into a blender and processing until smooth. When done, if you used a blender, put it back in the pot.

Add chipotle powder, salt and pepper. Set heat to medium, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Serve in a bowl and add additional toppings.

Additional toppings: tomatoes, avocado, tortilla chips, etc.
