Leeks, onion, potatoes and cheese enrich Stacey Savoyski’s corn chowder. “I developed it for our meatless Christmas Eve meal,” she adds from Southbury, Connecticut.
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped leeks (white portion only)
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute the leeks, onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the broth, potatoes and dill; cook for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
2. Stir in corn and pepper; cook 2 minutes longer. Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Stir in cream. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Yield: 4 cups.
