Corn chowder




Well this ones going to be hard, because I never measure anything for corn chowder....

So here goes!
_ I start off with a medium onion, diced, and cooked lightly in a little bit of oil.
_ Next I add in a few potatoes, as little or as many as you want depending on how many bowls you want.
_ Next I fill the pan up with milk so that it just barely covers all the potatoes. If you want it thick this is as far as I would fill it. If you want to thin it out add more milk.
_ Let simmer on LOW (or the milk will burn) until the potatoes are completely cooked through.
_ Add a little bit of corn at this point to add a bit of corn/ sweet flavor to the base.
_ After a few min take your blender stick to it and smooth out the soup base! Or you can put it in a blender and back into the pot.
_ Once the mixture is smooth you add in as much corn as you want!!! I like a ton so I just pile it in till it's jam packed.
_ Let it simmer for a few min longer so the corn is cooked, add salt and pepper until you get the desired flavor.
_ If at this point you realize you need more onion.. no worries use powder. It wont be the same but it helps.
_ Now your soup is spiced and ready to serve :)
