Soup Night - Northeast Jackson Style

I guess this is really more of Hoosier style (my native land)...but since I got 10 of my soup nazi friends to come to Northeast Jackson...that's a feat in and of itself.


Corn Chowder
adapted from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. It's in the "Fast" category, and seemed to be a hit.

Ingredients:
Large bag of frozen sweet corn (28-30 oz.)
1 cup cubed, peeled potato (use the red potatoes and you'll thank me later)
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup water
4 teaspoons instant bouillon granules (or four of the packets - good idea to dissolve them first)
pepper to taste (it's up to you how much to use..the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon)
3 1/2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour

Directions:
In stock pot, combine frozen corn, potato, onion, water, bouillon and pepper.
Bring to boil; reduce heat.
Cover and simmer about 10 minutes until corn and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
Stir in 3 cups of the milk and the butter.
Combine the remaining milk and flour in a separate bowl, then stir that into the corn mixture.
Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. (about 20 minutes)
Cook and stir, one minute more

Serves 10 people.
