Corn Chowder

Ok so it's the second post here and I'm already violating the title of the blog. As Kurt said, "So it goes".

Meg made some delicious corn chowder last night. Corn Chowder turns out it is a favorite of both of ours but we've never made it before. We were again working to get through the onslaught of vegetables, including corn, from the Cedar Circle CSA and this worked pretty well. Meg consulted a number of recipes and ended up working from Chris Kimball's Cooks Bible version and making a few improvements. There was lots of fresh Vermont onions and corn in it but the kicker was a fresh jalapeño which we forgot to sauté though it simmered in the chowder for a good spell. I think this actually turned out to be a good thing as it added a fresh flavor to the whole thing without overpowering at all.

It was absolutely delicious and we made some more good progress on our vegetable backlog!
