Corn Chowder Recipe
One of the hallmarks of our winter kitchen is the homemade soups, stews, or chowders which simmer for hours until the flavors mingle and fragrances fill the house. Ingredients aren’t always precise for these wondrous concoctions; much depends on what’s in the fridge and what herbs we feel like using.My favorite is corn chowder, especially after it’s been reheated. We often add limas because corn and beans eaten together provide a complete protein, the same as meat, but don’t be afraid to experiment.
