Corn Pastrami Chowder is a hearty soup that can be made in under an hour, with all the sweetness of corn, saltiness of pastrami and a mild kick from poblano peppers. My family adores this soup. It’s one of the soups that my kids will actually devour.

Here’s the lowdown on the ingredients. Corn Pastrami Chowder can be made with corn cut fresh off the cob if you prefer. It can even be made with canned corn. I prepared the final version with frozen corn because I find that to be the most convenient on busy weeknights. The parsley can also be fresh, frozen or dried. I’ve tested it every which way. Fresh and frozen lend the most flavor.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the equipment, here is a fun hack. If you do not have an immersion blender available, then puree the Corn Pastrami Chowder by carefully pouring it into your blender, then return it to the pan after blending.
