Instructions

1. Remove corn kernels from the cobs and reserve. Place a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 8 minutes or until tender. Add corn kernels, red peppers and spices and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat; pour soup through a strainer, reserving vegetables and broth.
2. Place half of the vegetables in a bowl, and gently mix in the yogurt. This will help to temper the yogurt and prevent it from separating. Combine the remaining vegetables and broth in a blender, and purée until smooth. Place the puréed vegetables and broth in soup pot over medium heat, and then stir the yogurt and vegetable mixture back into the pot. Serve corn chowder warm and garnish with a dollop of plain yogurt.
