Sweet corn and Potato soup (Chowder)

Hi Again

Today I have made a sweet corn and Potato soup
This is again quite a versatile recipe.. You could add Tuna, or Chicken if you wish to add some meat to it
Can add other vegetables like celery if you like
ok so here is the basic recipe

4 Corn Cobbettes corn removed
2 medium potatoes Diced
1 small red onion sliced
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 red chilli finely diced seeds removed (can leave them if like it really hot)
1 pint vegetable stock (or like me use pint water and 1/12 tsp stock powder)
1 tbsp oil
pepper

put oil into pot and then sliced onion and minced garlic and gently fry for two or three minutes to allow onion to soften
add your corn and chilli allow to cook for further minute
add your stock and potatoes

Cook everything for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender
Using a hand blender blitz about half the soup to help it thicken and become like a chowder
adjust seasoning serve with chives

Well as I said quite an easy soup. You could add some diced chicken or other vegetables if you like


hope you enjoy
catch ya later
