Curried Sweet Potato Chowder

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup shallots, minced
3 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (NOT YAMS!!!)
3 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
1 cup half and half
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper

In a medium saucepan melt margarine. Add shallot and sweet potato; cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes. Sprinkle in curry powder and stir 30 seconds. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Add half-and-half, corn, salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.

Cover and simmer 15 minutes(*) or until potatoes are done, stirring occasionally.

Spoon soup into 4 bowls.

*NOTES- First off let me say that I’m not a huge fan of the sweet potato, but I love this! I simmer it for about 30 – 40 minutes so that the potatoes are falling apart. If you like sweet potatoes and curry, you must try this. You can also add cooked ground chicken or turkey, I do this for my husband.
