My favorite corn chowder recipe comes from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest. It is

wonderful.

 

2 tbsp butter (or margerine)

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup minced celery

1 sweet red pepper, minced

4 cups fresh sweet corn (about 4-5 cobs with, don't use frozen corn, it will

turn out

awful)

1/2 tsp. salt

fresh ground black pepper

1/4 thyme

1/2 dried basil

1 cup vegetable stock or water

1 cup evaporated milk (you can use rice dream, but it doesn't turn out quite as

well)

 

In a medium size saucepan begin cooking the onions in the butter over medium low

heat,

stirring. After about 3-5 minutes add celery, and keep cooking. Five minutes

later add

peppers and corn.

 

Add seasonings, stir well and cover. Reduce heat and let it cook five minutes.

Add

stock. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Using a blender or food processor

puree about

half the solids in some of the somes own liquid. Add back to pan. About ten

minutes

before stirring, add the milk. Don't actually cook the soup any further, just

allow it

to heat gently.

 

This soup is excellent, and makes for great leftovers (when there are any!)

Hi.....

I know that book because I have it!

The Encahanted Broccoli Forest by Molly Katzen pub by 10 Speed Press @1982.

There is also a sequel, whose name I don't remember, and several re: Moosewood

Restaurant.

Vegetarian & skillfully created recipes. BTW: very delicious.

(I just love my used book store....always getting cookbooks fairly cheap!)

Love, Mollymom (no relation! LOL)
