My granddaughter has been on here a few times looking for my recipe for Corn Chowder, so I thought I better post it for her. It is one of those things I am very fussy about when I make it. It has to be just so.
1 large can Aylmer’s cream corn
1 large onion
1 potato, chopped (roughly 3/4 cup)
approximately 1 cup water
approximately 1 cup milk
1 tblsp butter
salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare potato by peeling, chopping, and washing. Put in medium size pot with onion and about 1 cup water. (I use as little water as possible – just enough to cook the potato without going dry.) Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potato is cooked. This should only take about 10 minutes.
Add corn and milk. (I don’t add a lot of milk because I like my chowder thick and flavorful.) Add butter and leave on low-medium heat until heated through; being careful not to boil. Check at this point to see if you have enough salt and pepper.
Rose, how much does this make? 2 cups?

Sorry, I should have said – it makes a little more than two cups. Makes 2-3 servings.
