This was a treat! I used 2 garlic cloves, but would use a little more next time. I was a little heavy on the red pepper, but the heat played off the sweetness and creaminess. I used canned corn, I don't know if that may be the reason it wouldn't puree. The blade just kind of ripped each kernel into a mess and refused to do anymore damage to make it smooth. So the presentation wasn't perfect. We like our soup with a bit of oomph, so toppings were crucial, fun and awesome with this chowder. We had sliced green onion and squares of rye toast which went really well. Bacon would be ideal - that saltiness with the corn are perfect partners. It was quick, too!
