Soup Please!

Cold weather means time for hot soup! Soup is good for us even when we don't have a cold. And nothing beats a good homemade soup.

I would like to share my favorite - a recipe from my absolute favorite TV chef, Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa).

Ina's Cheddar Corn Chowder is filling. This recipe will make 10 to 12 generous servings. I served this once on Super Bowl Sunday instead of the same old chili recipe and it scored big time!

Ina's Cheddar Corn Chowder
(serves 10-12)

What's In There?
  • 8 ounces bacon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • soup
  • 6 cups yellow onions diced
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 12 cups chicken stock
  • 6 cups medium diced white potatoes (unpeeled)
  • 10 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 2 cups Half and Half
  • 1/2 lb sharp white cheddar cheese

-- Cook bacon in the olive oil over medium high heat until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon and reserve. Reduce heat to medium.

Enjoy!
