Kick Off Corn Chowder

Here's a way to kick off the season (not football, Autumn!) and use up all that leftover corn on the cob:

Corn and Green Chili Chowder

2 cups corn off the cob (you'll have to cut it off with a sharp knife, carefully)
2 & 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup whipping cream (Julia would approve)
1 4oz. can diced mild green chilis
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
oops, I forgot the salt: salt to taste

Combine all ingredients and simmer over medium low heat for 15 minutes. Puree 2 cups soup (in blender or food processor) till smooth. Return to pot. Stir. Serve hot.

If you like a smoother soup, use a stick blender and puree the whole batch right in the pot. (And if you are hosting the big game, you'll want to triple, or quadruple this recipe.)

Is this spicy, mild?

It's pretty mild. Just has the nice flavor peppers without a lot of heat. I'm planning to post some pics of the soup this afternoon. We just ate it for lunch!

This sounds wonderful....but I would substitute the cream for soy creamer and chicken broth for veggie broth!

I've never tried this before, but it looks yummy! : ) Perfect for a day when it's been cold like it has been! ; )
