Cheesy Potato and Corn Chowder


This was a recipe I hadn't tried before, but it sounded good.  The original recipe is from allrecipes.com and can be found here.  I did change it up for our own taste.  I am a person who hates celery with a passion, and not a fan of fresh onion.  I will eat fresh onion, but to me, dried chopped onion and onion powder has more flavor.

What You Need
-2 Tablespoons of butter or margarine
-1 chopped onion or 1/8 cup dried chopped onion
-2 (14.5oz) chicken broth
-3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
-1 (15oz) can of whole kernel corn
-1 (4oz) can of chopped green chiles
-1 (2.5oz) package of country style gravy mix
-2 cups milk
-1 cup shredded Mexican cheese

What You Do
Add margarine to your pot and add your onion, be it fresh or dried.  Saute until lightly browned and cooked through.  Add two cans of chicken broth.  Bring to a boil and add your potatoes.  Turn to a low or medium low heat and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.





Should be smelling good by the time the potatoes are done!  Add the corn and chiles.  Return to boiling.  Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the gravy mix and milk.  Stir into boiling chowder.  Add cheese and stir until it is melted.





Serve with corn bread or a sandwich.  I had a chicken breast and swiss sandwich with mine and it was absolutely delicious!

Servings: 8... plenty to take to lunch the next day!
Approximate cost: $8
