My cousin M is a fantastic cook (no surprise since her parents are amazing--she had good teachers!). This is her mom's corn chowder recipe that she then lightened. It is a great way to sneak in some vegetables and tastes delicious.
Seriously, you have to try this recipe. I promise you won't be disappointed.
M's Corn Chowder--Serves 4 but easily doubles and freezes well
Combine in saucepan:
1/2 cup of water
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup pre-shredded carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Cover and simmer 20-30 minutes
Add:
1 cup creamed corn
1 cup canned corn, drained
Simmer 5 minutes
Add:
1 1/2 c skim milk
1 1/2 c 2% shredded cheddar
Stir until cheese melts but do not boil.
I am sure you could add crumbled bacon on top, or other garnishes. Sweet Pea Husband wants to try it with some crabmeat too.
Let me know what you think.
that is so funny-we are having a crab and corn bisque tonight that is very similar!
