Jalepeno Corn Chowder

Brrr... baby it's cold outside! What's better than warming up with some hot (both temperature and spicy) soup?! Besides, I needed an excuse to get the blender out and play :)

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of frozen corn
• 1 can reduced sodium chicken broth
• 2/3 cup small pasta (I used tiny shells)
• 1 cup skim milk
• Roasted red peppers, I used about 1/3 of a small bottle
• Handful of jalepenos, chopped
• 

Directions:

• Put 1 package of corn and chicken broth in the blender. Cover and blend until almost smooth
• In a saucepan combine the broth mixture, the remaining corn and bring to a boil.
• Add in the pasta and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered until pasta is tender
• Roughly chop up your red peppers and jalepenos
• Stir in the rest of your ingredients (milk, red peppers, and jalepenos)
• Stir until heated through
• Garnish with peppers, cheese or even tortilla chips!

This really hit the spot. It was just the right about of heat with the peppers and the temperature took the edge off on a cold, windy night!
