Nancy's Corn Chowder


What is this lovely mess of mis en place going to become? Some extremely delicious Corn off the Cobb Corn Chowder. I frequently eat at the Dish Cafe, and am always reading the owner's blog. So when I spied Nancy's recipe for Fresh Corn Off the Cob Soup, it sounded so delicious I just had to try it. To the right, we see the lovely mess o' mis en place. You'll notice extra carrots, and some Orangel. The carrots were a little spindly so I wanted extra, and Orangel & 7up is what the Dr ordered for a refreshing beverage on a hot day.


8 cobs makes lots of kernels!


It took a little while to brown the vegetables, but oh did it smell delicious. The prep went quicker than I thought, and don't forget to season, season, season your food as you're cooking. I also prepped some Tilapia with Balsamic Vinegar & Browm Butter sauce. (BTW it was delicious, but I was too busy eating to snap any pics.) Back to the chowder - after adding corn, cream, & herbs (including home-grown basil!):


This stockpot is full of WIN.


The chowder was really, really good. Only thing I did was under season it slightly. Nothing a little salt didn't cure.
