Potato Corn Chowder.

This is something I make without recipe, so I'll try to estimate my quantities here, feel free to experiment.

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 med. onion, diced
2 Leeks, sliced (see instruction below)*
4-5 med. Potatos, peeled and cubed
2 cups frozen corn
chicken broth or boullion
salt and pepper, thyme

*to prep Leeks, cut of the root end and the ragged ends. Cut Leek in half lenthwise. Now rinse carfully, seperating the leaves and rinsing in between where they tend to collect dirt while growing. Shake dry and slice.

Saute onion in oil until translucent. Add leeks and cook over med. heat for a few minutes, stiring. Add potatos, corn and enough broth to cover about 1" over veggies. Season with salt and pepper. I usually cook a spring of fresh thyme with this, but you could also use a little bit dryed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30min. add more broth or water while cooking to keep the consistency like a stew.
When done, I take the potato masher to the whole pot and coarsly mash up some of the potatos to make the soup somewhat creamy. You could also use a submersion blender or blend some of the soup and stir it back in, but I like to still have it quite "chuncky".   Posted by smcgrady

Scallop and Corn Chowder

posted and tried by Lovey

5 slices Canadian bacon (4 ounces), cut into a small dice
1 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled (if desired) and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup ff evaporated milk
Kernels from 2 ears of corn (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Increase heat to medium-high add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the scallops with the salt and pepper and cook, working in batches, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion to the drippings in the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, wine, broth, and milk, cover partially, and reduce heat. Simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the scallops and corn and simmer gently for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and bacon.

Tip: Scallops lend a lovely sweetness to this chowder, but they're relatively expensive. You can use shrimp or any firm, white-fleshed fish, such as cod or halibut, instead.
