Chilled chowders and soups are a refreshing and delicious addition to any summer menu.

Inspired by classic Thai flavors like lemongrass and coconut milk, this chilled white bean chowder is at once cool and fiery with the addition of jalapeno and white pepper.

The white bean chowder is lightly pureed with corn and cucumber which gives the dish some heft. We suggest serving a bowl of chilled Thai white bean chowder alongside grilled beef or chicken as the creamy cool chowder and the juicy sizzle of the meat are an unexpected and flavorful combination.

Don’t forget to keep any leftovers cooled in the fridge! This chowder keeps very well for up to a week, and can be heated if needed. We love being able to whip up such a simple and delicious dish and make it last for the next few meals.
