{ Green Chile Corn Chowder }

I love me some corn chowder. The green chiles are really optional, but they make this soup in my humble opinion. I started by melting 2 TBS butter in a pan, then adding:

1 small onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, crushed

and cooking until translucent.

I put the onion mixture in my Blendtec with:

3 cups corn kernels (I use defrosted frozen corn)

1 TBS cornstarch

1 1/2 cups milk

Blended until smooth and then strained back into the original pot. Brought to a boil and added

1 1/2 cups milk

4 large roasted green chiles, deseeded and diced

1 cup corn kernels

1 1/2 tsp salt

Then I reduced the heat and simmered until thickened.
