Cajun Corn Chowder

In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion and green pepper and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 2 cups corn and seasonings and reduce heat to medium. Cook until corn is soft, about 2 minutes. Pour vegetable broth into pot and increase heat to high to bring to a boil.

Add chopped potatoes to boiling soup, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and use an immersion blender to puree contents until desired consistency is reached (more for creamier soup, less for chunkier soup). Add remaining 1/2 cup corn kernels and allow to heat through for 5 minutes. Serve!
