broth, scraping up the flour on bottom of saucepan.
Bring chowder to a boil. Add the corn and sugar. Cover

stirring the chowder occasionally. Add cream, season
chowder to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer 1-1/2 cups of chowder to a blender and puree.
Mix puree back into chowder. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes,
stirring constantly. Ladle into bowls and top with a
dollop of roasted pepper cream. Makes 4 to 6 bowls.
