CORN CHOWDER

CORN CHOWDER
This is a very healthy chowder. We all liked it. It was a light dinner.

2 T butter
1 onion, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
1 tsp minced garlic
4 cups water
2-3 small red potatoes, cut into 3/4" dice
3 cups frozen sweet corn (I used canned)
1/2 cup whole milk
ground black pepper
Chopped chives or flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic. Cook stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until onion and celery begin to soften.

Add water and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Partially cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are completely soft.

Add corn and simmer for 5 minutes (if using canned put in with milk). Stir in milk and heat very gently for 1 minute. Season with pepper. Can top with chives or parsley.
