Harvest Creamy Corn and Potato Chowder Soup

Harvest Creamy Corn and Potato Chowder SoupOn my way out the door with the FFH, there's a new sex toy shop in town, and they are having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale. Stocking up, ladies, stocking up. You see he works lotsa overtime in December and my needs must be met somehow. Also they are advertising something I won't mention here , but it blows up,vibrates and says You are a Gorgeous Sex Goddess ,that resembles himAnyhow, then I'll be lunching here.. on FFH's.. I mean at the BIG WONG.... However,first, I just wanted to jot down this creamy corn' choup' as Rachael Ray calls it, but I am renaming it chowder soup as I can't bring myself to use the word choup, it reminds me of the word chump. I am submitting this to Deb at Kakahai Kitchen for Souper Sundays. Original recipe here. In a medium pot, heat up some olive oil over medium high heat. Add your chopped bacon and cook till crisp at the edges. Add your chopped up onions and red bell peppers, cook till softened. 4 minutes or so. Add the chopped up red potatoes, zucchini, corn and thyme, bay leaf,and paprikaCook for 4 minutes. Sprinkle some flour into the pot and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add your broth and simmer until thickened a bit. Stir in the milk, cream, and parsley and simmer till potatoes are tender, bout 8 minutes. Season the corn chowder soup to taste with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. That's all. Takes less than 40 minutes(with prep) and you have a nice tasty bowl of chowder soup. Its hearty enough to fill ya, and leftovers hold well. If you need a quick chowder soup fix, give it a whirl. Another Rachael Ray soup I found I enjoy is this Stuffed Cabbage Soup.

After lunch, a stop at Walgreens for battery stock up, chow.

  1. You're killing me with the Johnny Depp photo! He looks crazy hot in that picture! At first I thought you were going to say that FFH works lots of overtime and you were going to spend it all at the sex shop. I had to laugh when you went in the other direction about him being gone too much! My husband's been gone for a week at a time. Maybe I need to go with you;D
    The chowder looks terrific and I love all the colorful veggies. I'm sure I would love this with the red onion and zucchini - yum!

  8. Thank you, thank you, thank you for not calling it a choup! Some of her recipes may be fantastic, but I can't watch Rachael Ray because of the ridiculous words she uses. "Yummo, sammies and stoup" are just too much for me. It makes me feel like I'm watching a cooking show for preschoolers!

    The soup does look delicious, though!

  26. I am so not a fan of corn IN things. I don't know what it is. Maybe a texture thing???

    Either way, the pic of the corn and the cubed potatoes and zucchini is stunning!

  37. This is my soup. I don't share. I would love this too much. I am trying to get it to print so I can make it but it isn't working. It keeps telling me to come back late. It is key ingredient.

  41. This looks like a fabulous chowder! I like the smokiness of the bacon and the variety of vegetables.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great looking chowder, and yeah, I couldn't call it "choup" either - Rachael Ray comes up with some irritating terminology.
