Chunky Corn Chowder Recipe

Corn and new potatoes make a hearty pairing in this soup.

Melt 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp oil in pot. Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 bay leaf and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Cook over low heat, stirring, about 5 minutes. Cut 6 medium new potatoes into chunks (about 4 cups); add to onion along with 4 cups water or stock. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Cut kernels off 6 ears of Miracle corn. Add to soup. Simmer until heated through and corn is tender (5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with basil or chives.

Gardening Tip of the Day

  • How well soil drains is critical to gardening success. Here is an easy to follow method to evaluate your garden.

    1. Remove both ends of a large 48-ounce juice can.
    2. Dig a 4-inch-deep hole in the garden.
    3. Set the can in the hole and backfill around it with soil.
    4. Fill the can with water<BR>
    5. Check to see how much of the water has been absorbed after 1 hour.

    If the level drops about 2 inches, you’re in good shape. If the level drops more than 4 or 5 inches, you need to add organic matter (compost). If the level drops less than 1 inch, dig a pond or build raised beds. The soil has very poor drainage.
