~Corn and Potato Chowder~
Here is our first delicious homemade soup recipe of the month. Creamy yet chunky soup, rich with the sweet taste of corn. It is excellent served with thick crusty bread or rolls and topped with some grated sharp cheddar. A nice soup that does not take long to cook. I made it this weekend for lunch after we got home from church. It took 30 minutes start to finish.

INGREDIENTS:
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 medium baking potato, peeled & chopped
1 celery stick, diced
1/4 C green pepper, diced
2 T veg oil
2 T butter
2 1/2 C stock or water
1 1/2 C milk
1/8 C light cream
1 can (11 oz.) corn kernels
pinch of dried sage
salt and pepper
Cheddar cheese, grated
Put onion, garlic, potato, celery and green pepper into a large heavy based pan with the oil and butter. Heat the ingredients until sizzling then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook gently for about 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
Pour in the stock or water, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover again and simmer gently for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the milk, cream, corn (including its liquid) and sage. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until all heated through. Serve hot, sprinkled with cheese.
NOTE: I added 1 Cup of diced baked ham to the chowder...my husband is a true carnivore and feels a meal is complete only if it includes meat. :0)
Also, I have lots of fresh-frozen corn in the freezer from the garden last summer. I added 2 bags of that instead of a can of corn kernels. It probably totalled a good 2 Cups of corn.
Enjoy!
See you next Friday!

ReplyDeleteI am totally going to make this, I am just now ready for a new soup recipe for this winter. And this one sounds yummy, and I agree with your husband a little ham is just the thing. Printing it now. Thanks for sharing. Hugs ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteThis soup looks so tasty - I love soup, but my husband isn't a fan, so when I make it, I am enjoying it all by myself!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula,
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just printed this recipe to add to my shopping list...for the week!
I think I will and add Turkey Keilbasa (sp?) instead of the ham... I will let you know how it turns out...
Thank you for sharing, I look forward to next week Soup"s On!
All the Best,
Christine
That Corn and Potato Chowder looks wonderful... It's a rainy day here in Texas...I'm thinking it's a perfect day to try Paula's recipe. ":o)
ReplyDeleteWe love chowders. Living in the Northeast lends itself to a wide array of chowder fests and places that serve one version or another and this one looks delicious. I'll be putting it in my recipe file for the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Foodie Friday. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
Your corn and potato chowder looks delicious and the pinch of sage is something I'd never have thought of adding. I'll bet it's really great with it.
