With our little taste of winter the last couple days I was in the mood for some soup. Kaila’s chili the night before was an extremely tough act to follow.  The more I searched I kept coming back to corn chowder.

This worked well in a pinch.  I didn’t have a lot of time after work so this was pretty basic.  It still took me awhile to prep so next time I won’t be intimidated by additional ingredients.  Here are the changes I made:

• additional salt and pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup queso
• 1 tsp. of garlic (sauteed with the onions)
• at the end of cook time I blended the chowder with a hand mixer for a few minutes - it gives it that thick chowder texture

Enjoy!
