Method
Heat the olive oil and sweat off the garlic and shallots. Continue to cook out until the shallots are soft. Add the white wine and reduce to a syrup, then add the vegetable stock and reduce by half. Add the diced potato and cook at a gentle simmer until barely tender.
While the potato is cooking, cook half the sweetcorn; place in a pan, cover with water and add a pinch of salt and the butter. Simmer for 5 minutes and then purée in a food processor. Pass the purée through a fine sieve and then add the purée and the remaining corn to the chowder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
