Soup: Spicy Corn Chowder

By SharonE

Unbelievably satisfying for the amount of time required for this recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup diced red pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk (use unsweetened soy milk for lowfat version)
• 1 16-17 oz. can corn, drained, liquid reserved

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, cumin and cayenne and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in broth, milk and reserved corn liquid. Bring mixture to boil, whisking until smooth. Mix in corn. (I like to add fresh corn as well.)
