Corn chowder recipes

[LindaAnn]

I have a friend who is home from the hospital after major surgery. I am going to take her some food and have decided on a chicken casserole and a pineapple upside cake. However, I know she loves corn, so I was thinking about also making a corn chowder, but I actually have never made one.

Any recipes will be appreciated!

Maybe check with her family or doctor first before considering corn. The outer shell of the corn kernels is hard to digest.

I have a delicious corn chowder recipe from the Old Mill Resturant, Pigeon Forge Tn. They always serve a sampling of the chowder and corn fritters to munch on while meal is being prepared.

Corn Chowder
1 tbs. margarine
3 cups diced onions
3/4 cup crumbs(from unsalted oyster crackers)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups water
1 cup clam juice
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced potatoes
2 cups half and half
2 cups corn kernels ( if frozen defrost)
1 red and 1 green pepper(chopped)
garlic and onion powder to taste

Directions

1 red and 1 green pepper, chopped and sauteed briefly in butter, add salt and fresly ground white pepper, to taste.

Mix liquids and butter, add potatoes and onions, and cook until done. Mix cracker crumbs, flour and seasonings. Add to potato mixture. Add peppers, mix well, bring to a boil, add cream and corn, simmer 15-20 minutes.

We use the special chowder seasoning which is not available at grocery stores. To compensate for this ingredient, season to taste with garlic powder and onion powder.

Makes 2 quarts

Can of cream corn
About 3-4 ears of corn, roasted on BBQ, husked, corn cut off
1 rib celery
1carrot
1med onion
Can of evaporated milk or equal amout of cream
1 packet of sodium free chicken bouillon on about half a cup of water
1tbsp butter
Dill
Marjoram
Black pepper

Sauté carrots, onion, and celery, finely minced, in butter until onion is wilted.
Stir in the remaining ingredients. Add herbs to taste.
Bring to a simmer. Lower temp and keep on heat about 30 min.

I don't like potatoes in this so I never use any.
Fresh corn is so much better than canned or frozen so I advise getting corn on the cob if your store has it.

I don't even have a recipe for corn chowder it's so easy! I cook a couple of potatoes in water to just cover till done. Lightly smash leaving some texture. Stir in a can of good quality cream style corn and a can of milk. I have also added a small can of diced green chilies. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and heat. That's all there is to it. Been making corn chowder like this since my grandmother showed me how, a very long time ago!
