Sweet Spiced Corn Chowder

I brought this dish to a Superbowl party last night and it almost dissappeared.  I’ve also served it a dinner parties making it a day ahead. You can vary the vegetables in the second part to what you have on hand.  Sometimes I just use corn and onions garnishing the soup with some red pepper. Double the recipe and freeze some.

*Puree in blender or food processor or use an immersion blender. 
1 small sweet potato, baked, mashed
2 cups veggie broth (I use Steinbecher powdered broth
1.5 cups soy milk ( make sure it isn’t vanilla flavored)
2  cups organic corn, fresh or frozen from the depth of your freezer
2 Tbsp maple syrup or agave (ok to skip)
 ————————————————————–
 Saute a mixture of diced and chopped vegetables over medium heat, until soft and then add to the soup mixture above.
 1/4 cup olive oil (or less)
 1 small white onion, diced ( Leeks are a nice addition if you have them)
 1/4 cup celery, diced
 1 cup red bell pepper, diced 
 1 stalk green scallion, chopped thin
 1/2 cup corn
Season with about a 1/2 tsp of  cayenne powder or more if you like it hot
2 tsp salt
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
