Chowders often contain heavy cream, which translates to high fat, high calories. This is a lighter version made with lowfat milk. The roasted peppers give it such a great flavor you do not even miss the cream!
By weight, a red bell pepper contains three times as much vitamin C as a citrus fruit. Hot peppers contain 357 percent more than an orange!
Preheat a gas grill. Place peppers (Anaheim chiles and red pepper) on the grill over medium-high heat about 3-5 minutes each side, until skin is blackened. Place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Peel away skin, seed and chop.
Place potato pieces into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Add onion and chopped garlic and saute until onion is translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a food processor, process 1 cup of corn kernels and 1/2 cup potato chunks until fairly smooth. Transfer contents to a stock pot over medium heat and add potato pieces, diced peppers, onions and garlic, and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until soup thickens.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
