Recipe Diaries: Snapshot #97: Corn Chowder

September 14, 2010.  Orem, Utah.  After a day of job searching, this homemade corn chowder really hit the spot.

Ingredients:  1/2 large onion-finely chopped, 1/4 cup butter, 1-1/2 cups water, corn off of 3 cobs-cooked, 1 large potato-peeled and cut into 1/4 inch cubes, 1 can evaporated milk, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.  Feta Cheese.

Directions:  In frying pan, saute onion in butter until tender.  In saucepan, combine sauteed onions with water, corn, potatoes, and salt & pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to low, stir in evaporated milk, additional salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.  Use a potato masher to crush and mix the soup.  Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Serve and sprinkle with feta cheese.
