Kellymike's Corn Chowder

"We had this great corn chowder at our local pub, and DH just raved about it. He wanted me to ask for the recipe but I was pretty sure I could duplicate it. I dare say mine might even be a little bit better! This is a savory chowder, not sweet at all, with a spicy kick of cayenne. I guessed on the sizes of the cans, but they were all around 14 oz. standard canned veggie size."

  1. 5* winner, Kellymike. I used homemade gravy and freshly boiled potatoes but other than that followed the recipe to great success. Dh loved its creamy comfort and I'm glad to have the considerable leftovers in the freezer for those I'm-not-cooking-nights.
     
  2. I thought that this chowder was just ok in texture and flavor. I probably won't make it again.

I live on the East Coast. We have a cute little house 2 blocks from the beach. It was built in 1947. Someday I would like to renovate the kitchen, but that is all I would change. I collect 1940's/50's textiles. I love the colorful tablecloths, dishtowels, aprons, and hankies and I use them! I also collect Fiesta dinnerware in all the bright colors. My hobby is making stained glass. The real deal - with lead, solder, sharp edges and plenty of band-aids! I love it because each piece is unique and because it is a hobby that has taught me to slow down. Good things come out of patience and effort. I'm married to my best friend. I adore him and I'm so proud of him. He recently retired from a 30 year military career. We balance each other; he keeps my feet on the ground and I keep his head in the clouds. At home we have 3 dogs who let us live with them. Two of them are beagles, Ralph and Layla, and one is a redbone coonhound, Killian. They hunt only their next treat, though. Layla specializes in holding down the couch, Ralph is a great co-pilot on car rides, and Killian recently graduated from obedience school with a C+, LOL. We are recent "empty nesters," since my three children are all launched and out in the world doing their own thing. I am super proud of my two daughters and my son. Trying to learn to cook for just 2 now; it's been HARD!
