Instructions:

- Mince the garlic cloves.
- If using fresh corn, shave the kernels off the cob.

- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the spices to become aromatic.

- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the sweet corn and chopped kale.

- Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the chowder and then mix it back into the pot.
- Adding a dash of smoked paprika can give the chowder a subtle smoky flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier chowder, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeño.
- Make sure to wash the kale thoroughly to remove any grit and then chop it into bite-sized pieces for an even cook.
- Try roasting the corn beforehand for an added depth of flavor.
