rustic cook from frozen rolls
Method
Heat the olive oil and sweat off the garlic and shallots. Continue to cook out until the shallots are soft. Add the white wine and reduce to a syrup, then add the vegetable stock and reduce by half. Add the diced potato and cook at a gentle simmer until barely tender.
While the potato is cooking, cook half the sweetcorn; place in a pan, cover with water and add a pinch of salt and the butter. Simmer for 5 minutes and then purée in a food processor. Pass the purée through a fine sieve and then add the purée and the remaining corn to the chowder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
