INSTRUCTIONS
Peel and chop the onions. Deseed and chop the red bell peppers. Quarter the potatoes. Mince the Thai chiles.
Place a large pot over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and just half of the minced Thai chiles. Cook until the onion is translucent and softened, reducing heat to prevent burning as necessary, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green curry paste and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add 2 cups water, quartered potatoes, corn kernels, and coconut milk to the pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer the chowder until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Trim and thinly slice the scallions. Halve the limes. Add the juice from 2 limes to the chowder and season with 2 tsp salt. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Ladle the Thai corn chowder into large bowls. Top with sliced scallions and remaining minced Thai chiles. Serve with lime wedges. Soup’s on!
