I fell in love with the corn chowder at Mimi's and was unable to find a recipe that tasted like it here. I was able to find the actual recipe on Mimi's own site. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
6 tablespoons onions, chopped |
3/4 cup celery, large dice |
2 1/2 cups hot water |
2 cups potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 quart half-and-half cream |
3 cups frozen corn, thawed |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 pinch white pepper |
3 tablespoons flour |
Directions:
1. On medium heat, melt butter.
2. Simmer onion and celery for 5 minutes until soft but not brown.
3. Add water, potatoes, corn and seasonings.
4. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender.
5. Whisk the flour into 1 cup of half & half and stir into soup.
6. Add remaining 3 cups half & half.
7. Simmer for about 15 minutes until soup thickens to creamy consistency.
8. To make soup thicker, simmer another 5-10 minutes.
