Chef's Notes
Substitutions For the onion, use yellow or white. Shallots can also be used in place of onion.
For the bell pepper, use orange, yellow or green bell pepper in place of red bell pepper.
Use fresh oregano in place of fresh thyme. Or, use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme in place of the fresh (however, we do recommend fresh over dried for the best flavor).
Instead of sweet potatoes, use organic red, purple or golden potatoes.
Prep ahead Pre-cut the onions, peppers, and celery and store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Make it Spicy Add 2 tablespoons of minced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes as garnish on top.
Storage Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 30 days.
Reheating When ready to serve, reheat the corn chowder over low heat; don't let it boil.
