Latest Soup

[affreca]

Decided that I should use part of my holiday to cook for the week. I was feeling boring, so soup time again. I decided to try a different corn chowder recipe, because I have chicken stock to use up. I started with this recipe. Like always, I altered it based on ingredients available and misreading the directions. And I quarter the amounts, because I only need enough soup for four lunches.


Corn Chowder, variation 2
2 slices bacon
dash olive oil
1 chopped onion*
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp flour
dash salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
3 c chicken stock
1 large potatoes
1 can kernel corn
1 can creamed corn
1/2 c milk
1 c grated cheese

In pot, fry the bacon until brown and chop the onion. When bacon is brown, remove and reserve. Add onion and garlic to remaining oil/grease. Cook until translucent, then add flour, salt and curry powder (I could not find tumeric in the spice cabinet, so added curry powder. Also, I did not double check the recipe in my haste, so added the full amount). Cook for three minutes, then add stock and potatoes. Boil until potatoes are soft, roughly 15 minutes. Add the corn, milk and cheese. Garnish bacon or add it at the end like I usually do.

Note to self - substituted cans of corn with 4 ears of corn and 1 cup sour cream (corn added with potatoes, sour cream at end).
