Corn Chowder

By AnneS

Ingredients

• 4 cups milk
• 7 ears of corn
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 1/2 cups finely diced potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a low simmer.

Meanwhile, cut the corn kernels from the cobs. Set kernels aside. When the milk is warm, add the corn cobs and simmer 10 minutes.

While the cobs simmer, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, potatoes, and thyme and sauté about 8 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Add the garlic and sauté another minute.

Remove the cobs from the milk and discard them. Transfer the potato and onion mixture into the milk. Add the corn kernels and simmer 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
