Corn Chowder!

Okay, so I've been craving this corn chowder for a while. My friend Genevieve made this soup a couple of years ago when I wasn't gluten free and it's one of those meals that linger on your tongue long after the meals over. So I contacted her to get the recipe and try it gluten free! To my joy, the soup was already gluten free, so I didn't have to do anything to change the ingredients. Isn't that the BEST!

















It's real simple and it is as follows:
Chop one med onion, start to sautee in olive oil.
Add chopped ham and diced red potatoes. Let that brown with the onions.
Keep stirring so it doesn't stick. You can also add a little chopped red bell pepper if you want to ( sweetens it a little bit).
Cover with water- enough to just cover the onions, ham and potatoes. Let it simmer and add two-three chicken boullion cubes OR you can add chicken broth instead of water and boullion cubes. Just depends on how much flavor you want.
Let that simmer until the potatoes are soft and cooked.
Then add one can of cream-style corn, one can regular corn and one can evaporated milk.
Let it simmer a little more, then you're ready to serve!!!
Season it with Tony Cacheries, garlic salt pepper and paprika- use whatever you like.

Grocery List:
Medium Onion
Olive Oil
1 cup Diced Ham
4 small Red Potatoes
1 small Red Bell Pepper (optional)
3 Bouillion cubes or Chicken Stock
1 can Cream-style Corn
1 can Regular Corn
1 can Evaporated Milk
Season to taste

Review: DELICIOUS. My family said it was better than restaurant corn chowder. Just have fun with the recipe, don't take it too seriously. Cook as long as you want. If you cook with love you'll be able to taste it!

Gluten free tip: Make sure your chicken stock and bouillion cubes are gluten free. I used Rachel Rays' Chicken Stock because I knew it was gluten free. Also when buying the canned corn check beforehand which companies will guarantee you a gluten free corn. If a label says modified food starch, but doesn't say what kind I DON'T BUY IT. Unless I know for a fact it is gluten free. Walmart is excellent for labeling all their gluten free products gluten free. So if it's Great Value Brand and it doesn't say gluten free, I don't buy it.
