Suzi's Corn Chowder

4 cups frozen sweet corn
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 1/2 cups water
7 chicken boullion cubes
1/2 tsp pepper
3 1/2 cups milk
3 TB flour
6 TB butter
Depending on how good the corn is, sometimes I use a tsp or so of sugar.
sprinkle of salt? (I don't use it, DH does)

Add frozen corn, potatoes, onions, water, boullion, and pepper to pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 min or til potatoes are tender.

Stir in 2 cups of the milk and the butter. Combine remaining milk and the flour, then add to corn mixture. Cook and stir 'til thickened and bubbly, cook 1 minute more. Enjoy!

Very easy, and I use 1% milk so its very easy on the waist! http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/images/smilies/chef.gif


Then I changed it a little a few weeks ago....

I browned 1/2 lb of chopped bacon.... removed it, cooked up 2 diced chicken breasts in the bacon grease... removed that.... dumped and wiped out the pot o grease....

went on with soup as originally posted except I used 9 bullion cubes, 4 cups water, 4 cups milk, and I threw in a tsp or so or dried thyme.
I added the chicken and bacon in with the milk to warm up.

And I didn't mess it up one bit!!!

This sounds great SQ... I love chowders, so hearty and suitable for the colder months of the year!

Thanks so much Suzi!!! You're a doll. This sounds sooo good.........

To make this on Fridays for Lent would it be ok to use vegetable boullion? Then the next day I'll add the bacon and chicken. lol

If they don't like it you will need to report to confession and say 5 Hail Mary's. I can see it now: Forgive me Father for I have sinned, I posted a recipe that was not well received!!

LOL just kidding around here.

The recipe sounds great....and you could spice it up a bit by adding strips of roasted poblano chiles and crumbling some cheese on top when you serve it....

Sounds great ( almost identical to what I do here). Havnt made it in awhile. Sometimes what i do , is instead of adding the onions right off the bat, Ill actuallty fry them up, then stir them in afterwards. Also, if the corn isnt as sweet as I like, Ill toss a little sugar in just to give it that sweet/ savory contrast. ( oops, just reread the recipe and i saw the sugar thing :smile: ) And if i feel like being a pig, ill use some heavy cream too. Anyway, looks like i dont even need to submit this post, since its practically identical to what ive done in the past. I guess I can end it by saying that it works out great everytime. Quick, easy , inexpensive ....my kind of dish.

Suzi.....your reputation is secure!!
I made your chowder last night but Dh took me out of town so didn't get to eat it until this afternoon. I did use the vegetable boullion because I was making it meat-free but I added the bacon today! Worked perfectly....yummy!!!! Thank you. This is a keeper.
