Corn Chowder


I love this, I've made this a few times for my family so far. The first time I made it it was just okay, but now I've tweaked it a little and I love it. And so does my family. My son finished his bowl before I did!

Vegetable Stock
1 LARGE onion
3 cloves garlic
10 small/medium sided white potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch squares
2 cans creamed corn
1 can corn kernels
pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 C soy milk
salt and pepper


1.In about and inch of vegetable stock cook chopped onion until tender, about 8 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and potatoes and enough veg broth to cover potatoes, bring to boil and then turn down heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

3.Add cans of creamed corn and drained corn kernels and simmer for 10 more minutes.

4. Take a potato masher and mash some of the potatoes in the chowder and stir. This makes the chowder heavier and creamier. You can strain out some potatoes or mash them right in the pot.

5. Season with cayenne pepper, soy milk and salt. Turn down heat and add the soy milk. Serve and enjoy.

Makes about 7-10 bowls.
