Jalapeño and Sweet Corn Chowder

I have had the idea for a really good sweet corn chowder for a while, and had given it a few tries, but never totally nailed it. This time, it was perfect. The key is to use really good ingredients, good fresh sweet corn, fresh jalapenos and a good, hearty, sharp cheddar.

Jalapeño and Sweet Corn Chowder

This chowder has the perfect blend of flavors. It has a hint of spice from the jalapeño, a natural sweetness from the corn, a little smokiness from the spices and a creamy cheddar base to balance it all out.
