Instructions

Heat the oil on low in a large nonstick cooking pot. Add the chili powder, red pepper flakes and cumin and let bloom about 5 minutes. While that's happening, chop the onion.

Raise the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Chop the garlic as the onion cooks.

Add the garlic and saute 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat if the garlic starts to burn.

Add the corn and saute 5 minutes. If you're using frozen corn, add it frozen. Chop the poblano and tomatoes while the corn cooks.

Remove about a cup of the mixture to a food processor.

Add the poblano and tomatoes to the cooking pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir occasionally.

Process the corn mixture in the food processor about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the almond milk and process until smooth. Add it to the cooking pot.

Stir in the other cup of milk, salt, lime juice, pepper, sweetener and water. Simmer 5-10 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Stir in the cilantro leaves just before serving.
