Butternut Squash Corn Chowder

(9)
"It was a weekend of celebrating summer with friends & hanging out by the pool & I had loads of leftover fresh corn. I'm usually a stickler for buying seasonal produce but the hubs came back from the market with a huge butternut squash so I threw it into this corn chowder. The recipe is inspired by the lovely Nancy @urbankitchenapothecary - ever since she made her smoky coconut sweet corn chowder last summer, I have been wanting to make it too. You take cooked corn cobs and make a quick 30 minute broth which is an absolute game changer. Along w/ the squash, I added carrots & thyme w/ smoked paprika. A little coconut milk & apple cider vinegar at the end for brightness. I puréed about a cup of the soup at the end to thicken it a bit. Garnished w/ fresh parsley & Aleppo pepper. Summer soup is done!"
