Corn Chowder!! (and African Sweet Potato and Peanut Soup +links)
I plan on making this tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully it's tasty!
3 cups of fresh sweet corn kernels - 7 to 10 ears depending on size
(Jersey corn is my preference but then again I'm partial)
1 large red or yellow onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken stock
6 new potatoes, cup up into small cubes
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream
Salt, to taste
Heat the butter and oil in a large heavy bottomed soup pot and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the chicken stock and then the potatoes. Bring this to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Now add milk, the grated corn pulp and juice only, and thyme and pepper. Let this simmer for about 8 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Add the whole corn kernels that you removed from the corn cobs and the heavy cream. Let this simmer for 5 or 6 minutes until the corn kernels are cooked. Be careful not to overcook them.
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

Unfortunately I will be using frozen corn...I wonder if in place of the grated corn pulp I could just put some of the corn in a food processor...? Oh well, I'll figure something out.
Also, this recipe looks interesting...

And...I think I'll be making this with my left over chicken drumsticks...
