Cornography
Jan. 18th, 2010 07:36 pmSeveral years ago there was a brand of soup that was sold in plastic bags in the produce aisle of the supermarket. Don't remember the name, but one of their soups was a corn chowder with peaches in it. It was wonderful. I decided to use my black belt in Google-Fu to find a recipe for it. And completely and utterly failed. Nothing. Not a single mention of a corn chowder with peaches in it. Not even regarding the late lamented, forgot the name of the company, sold in a bag soup. So I had to make one up. Came out pretty good.
So here, for the first time anywhere on the internet...
Peach Corn Chowder
Ingredients
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 teaspoon mined garlic
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup diced potato
1 teaspoon salt
2 16-ounce packages frozen corn kernels, thawed and divided
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups fat-free milk
1 15.9 oz can of diced peaches (save 1/2 cup peach juice)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional - adds a nice smokey taste to the mix)
Preparation
Add oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; let butter melt. Add onions and garlic to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in potatoes, salt, 1 package of corn, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
While mixture simmers, combine the remaining corn, peach syrup, and milk in a food processor; process until smooth. Add milk mixture to pan; add chopped peaches and paprkia and simmer 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
