Cloudy skies and autumn rains mark the beginning of the end of summer. As the weather turns colder, we turn to rich, thick, creamy soups to warm the stomach and ward off the cold. It is a good time for making this Curried Corn Chowder while fresh corn is still easily available at the grocery stores.
Curry powder and ground ginger give the Curried Corn Chowder greater flavor. The potatoes provide volume while the corn reminds us that summer is not quite done yet. There is still hope for an Indian summer before the first snow fall.

Serve this warm and comforting Curried Corn Chowder with your favorite crackers, croutons, or crusty bread.

Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎

September 17, 2010 at 12:57 pmThis sounds super delicious, Biren. I love that you used fresh corn. I don't usually do that-don't tell anyone though (smile). It's really b/c the corn is so expensive here, unless I go down to an organic farm about an hour away. I did that one time this last summer…
Anyway, look yummerz and warming;)

September 17, 2010 at 1:05 pmBiren, great recipe that I have to try. We love corn chowder! This will probably be the last week for fresh sweet corn at the farmer's market. So sad. It's really chilly here this morning, around 48 degrees so this bowl of chowder would be a wonderful thing!

I bet this tastes amazing with all those combined flavors. Great recipe, and perfect timing Biren. Have a lovely weekend!

September 17, 2010 at 9:01 pmBiren – what a lovely, comforting soup. Among many things, I ♥ soups and this bowl of chowder looks welcoming with the little soup crackers next to it. {Sigh} – wish we had a Fall season too. Have a fantastic weekend! 🙂
Patty Price says
September 17, 2010 at 9:51 pmHi Biren Love your soup recipe. I just found red corn in the market so of course I couldn't resist and brought it home with me. I'm going to make soup again this weekend, just feeling like comfort food too:)
Kristi Rimkus says
September 17, 2010 at 11:49 pmI love that you use fresh ingredients here, even down to the corn. It has to make such a difference in the flavor!
Kamalika says
September 17, 2010 at 11:59 pmBiren, I too make this kind of flavoured soup but I never added curry powder or thyme…..will try this one next time when I will cook this kind of soup….

rotinrice says
September 18, 2010 at 12:03 amWith corn in season, it is best to use fresh corn 🙂
rotinrice says
September 18, 2010 at 12:04 amI love fall and all the scents and aroma of fall. It's wonderful! I hope you have a fantastic weekend as well.
rotinrice says
September 18, 2010 at 12:05 amRed corn? I have only seen the dried ones. One or two red ones in the mix will make the chowder look so pretty.
rotinrice says
September 18, 2010 at 12:06 amI like fresh sweet corn as it is so sweet. Whenever I eat steam corn, I like it plain without butter or salt. They are delicious just the way they are.
rotinrice says
September 18, 2010 at 12:08 amCurry powder and ground ginger give the soup greater warmth perfect for this time of the year.
Francine05 says
September 18, 2010 at 2:08 amThis sounds like a great recipe for me this weekend.
Have some fresh corn I'm wanting to use.
Will substitute rice flour for all-purpose as I'm gluten free.

September 19, 2010 at 5:04 amHi Biren 🙂
What a lovely dish to bid summer goodbye and herald autumn's arrival! I made something vaguely similar with squash and corn recently that I will post soon.
I find the combination of curry spices and thyme absolutely intriguing! You really have such beautiful tableware – the bowl is gorgeous, as is the plate and I have that very same spoon LOL
I hope you get your wish for a beautiful Indian summer, before autumn arrives in all her tawny glory 🙂
Cooking Gallery says
September 19, 2010 at 8:10 amThe soup looks very comforting Biren. Well done :)!

cozydelicious says
September 19, 2010 at 2:17 pmIt has totally gotten cold cold cold all of a sudden and this soup looks like the perfect way to warm up! I bet the texture is fantastic. Yum!
Nate @ HouseofAnnie says
September 19, 2010 at 3:53 pmYou can freeze the corn now and make this soup later in the cold of winter, when this soup will warm both the heart and the stomach.
Megan says
September 19, 2010 at 7:43 pmHi Biren… this looks delicious! We just made corn chowder last week and loved it. You are right the corn and potatoes just are the perfect balance between summer and fall – Have a super Monday! – Megan

September 19, 2010 at 8:48 pmI've been turning to soups for warming meals too. Your curried corn chowder looks amazing!
rotinrice says
September 20, 2010 at 2:38 amHi Maan, thanks for visiting and commenting. Please visit often 🙂
rotinrice says
September 20, 2010 at 2:39 amYes, I do freeze whatever is leftover as I normally buy by the dozen. Of course fresh is best 🙂
rotinrice says
September 20, 2010 at 2:46 amThe curry spices and thyme worked quite nicely. I love thyme and use it liberally.
Thanks for the compliments on my tableware. I am an avid collector 🙂 Fall is lovely when it is dry and sunny. The weather this weekend was just gorgeous. The leaves are already changing color.
Erica says
September 20, 2010 at 2:16 pmI made this recipe after seeing the pic on Tastespotting. I didn't use carrots, substituted some sour cream for the 1/2 and 1/2, veggie broth for chicken, and dried thyme. It tasted delicious! Thanks for a new way to enjoy corn from my CSA!
rotinrice says
September 20, 2010 at 2:28 pmHi Erica! Thanks for visiting and letting me know you enjoyed the recipe. You've made my day!
