Our four
cobs of fresh local corn were destined to make a luscious corn chowder. We nuked them as we did yesterday, sliced off the
kernels, and set them aside while the cobs boiled in a little water in a
separate pot.
In a deep
skillet, we fried a quarter pound of bacon, one diced onion, and a slim stalk
of celery, all of them diced small.
Then we added four smallish yukon golds, cubed, and when they'd fried a
few minutes, poured a little cob-water over them, covered, and let them steam until
tender.
At the
end, we added diced red and orange tiny peppers, the kernels, and milk until
the consistency was right, and then finished with a dollop of cream.
Smoky,
sweet, creamy: what you want in a chowder.
