Mimi's Corn Chowder

Ingredients:

4 Tb butter or margarine
6 Tb onion, chopped
3/4 cup celery, large dice
2 1/2 cups hot water
2 cups raw potato, peeled and cute in 1/2" cubes
1 qt half & half
3 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 Tb sugar
2 tsp salt
1 pinch white pepper
3 Tb flour

Method:

On medium heat, melt butter, then simmer onion and celery for 5 minutes until soft, but not brown. Add water, potatoes, corn and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender. Whisk the flour into 1 cup of the half & half, and stir into the soup. Add the remaining 3 cups of half & half. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the soup has thickened to a creamy consistency.

Correct the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. In order to correct the consistency of the soup you may add a little milk to make thinner. To make the soup thicker, simmer another 5-10 minutes.

Bon Appetite!
