Winter Recipe: Winter Vegetable Chowder
A hearty and comforting chowder packed with winter vegetables, warming spices and creamy richness, finished with vibrant sundried tomato pesto.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 large brown onion, finely diced
– 2 leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
– 2 celery sticks, finely diced
– 1 large carrot, finely diced
– 3 garlic cloves, crushed
– 2 tsp smoked paprika
– 2 tsp harissa paste
– 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
– Sea salt and black pepper
– 500g starchy potatoes (such as Sebago), peeled and cut into 2cm pieces
– 2 cups cauliflower florets
– Kernels from 2 corncobs
– 1 zucchini, deseeded and cut into 1cm pieces
– 1L vegetable stock
– ½ cup cream
– ⅓ cup sundried tomato pesto
– Chopped fresh parsley, to serve
HERE’S HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Set a multi cooker to Sear mode on low.
2. Add the oil, onion, leek, celery and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the paprika, harissa, thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for a further 30 seconds until aromatic.
4. Add the potato, cauliflower, corn and zucchini, stirring to coat in the spice mixture. Pour in the stock and stir to combine. Secure the lid, set the vent to Seal, then select Soup mode (20 minutes) and press Start.
5. Once cooking is complete, carefully release the pressure and remove the lid. Transfer about one-third of the chowder to a bowl and blend until smooth using a stick blender. Return the purée to the cooker and stir to combine. Mix through the cream and season to taste.
6. Ladle into serving bowls, top with a dollop of pesto and a sprinkle of parsley, then serve with crusty bread.
