Chowdah.

I generally refrain from posting recipes because this is not a cooking forum and it just sounds boring typing and reading a recipe.  But every now and again, something makes it on that is just a little special and would be nice to be shared.  That specialness is usually attained by being freakishly easy to cook, can be ready in less than 30min, and can be made with ingredients you most likely have around the kitchen.

The Tall One is predictably sick, since he leaves Thursday morning for a 4-day houseboat trip, so last night I wanted to make him a nice mellow dinner.  I got the idea from Kaylani to make a corn chowder of sorts and serve it with grilled cheese.  Easy!!  He loved it and I'm having it for lunch in about 2 hours.  Maybe earlier because I'm so excited about it.

You need: 

1- 14.75oz. can of cream corn 

2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

4 cups chicken broth

1 med onion, chopped

Saute up the onions until soft (you can do this while bringing the broth and potatoes to a boil), add the onions to the broth mixture and cook until the taters are soft and mashable.  Drain the taters, reserving 1c. of broth.  Add salt and pepper (I even added some parsley flakes), and mash everything together, using the reserved liquid to desired consistency.  Add can of corn, mix, taste, season more if you like and serve.  (I added a couple slices of bacon and it was great).

Chowdah, yo.
