CAS says:Can I have some? Can I have some, huh? Good enough to eat. As usual you’ve put together another superb “pick”, such delicious colors.

CAS says:A – I’d love to come for soup! It won’t be soon though, because I have a feeling that we don’t live anywhere near each other (New Hampshire), maybe…we could exchange receipes? I make a mean Corn Chowder…

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:CAS, That might be a ways to go for a meal, since I’m in Wisc. My Veggie soup is pretty basic !! But I would love a receipe for Corn Chowder!!!!!!

CAS says:My Dad loves this Corn Chowder (I had to make it on Tuesday, and it was gone by Wednesday noontime), and it’s so easy.
1 medium Potato – diced or chopped (depends on how big you like your pieces)
1 medium Onion – diced
1 medium Red Pepper – diced or chopped (depends on how big you like your pieces)
1 Garlic Clove – minced
1 pound Sausage – sliced or crumbled (I like it crumbled, that way you get some with every spoonful)
3 tablespoons Flour
3 cups Milk (we use fat-free lactaid, Dad’s lactose intolerant)
2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
1 16 ounce bag Frozen Whole-kernel Corn – thawed (otherwise it takes forever to heat)
1 regular size can Creamed Corn
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 regular size can diced Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper to taste
Spray a large saucepan/pot with cooking spray and heat over medium heat; add potato, onion, red pepper, garlic and sausage and cook until sausage is lightly browned; sprinkle with flour, stir and cook 1 minute; add milk, bouillon cubes, thawed frozen corn and creamed corn; bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes; add cheese and tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, stir till cheese melts; EAT
