• Warm the half-and-half in a small saucepan until it bubbles. Remove from heat before it boils, and mix into the chowder just before serving.

MARY'S CAST IRON SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Pour vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet; place in the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix cream-style corn, cornmeal, buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, eggs, salt, and red chile pepper together in a bowl to form batter. Remove skillet from oven using oven mitts; pour in batter.

CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the cream and the potatoes, bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down (this will help to thicken the soup and give it a good texture).
• Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the parsley and give it another little drink of olive oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

MARY'S TEX MEX CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Chop peppers.
• Add to large pot with marjoram, chili powder, oregano, black pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat, until peppers are softened.
• Mix vegetable stock powder & water in a mixing cup.
• Add broth, sherry, potatoes, and hot peppers to pot. Cover and increase heat. Liquid should not quite cover the potatoes. If it does, allow to cook a bit longer to reduce the amount of liquid.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Add corn. Cook another 10 minutes. (This step allows the soup to cool a bit and stop boiling before you add the milk products).
• Add milk and cream. Simmer briskly 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not allow to boil!
• Serve with a savory/salty bread to balance the sweetness & heat of the soup.

Once boiling add the salt, pepper, bacon, corn and all the potatoes. (If desired reserve some of the bacon for the garnish.)

MARITIME STYLE CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Peel and dice potato into 2 cm cubes. Cook in salt water for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly cooked with still some firmness. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, brown bacon then dice or crumble, reserving two slices for garnish. Crumble reserved slices and set aside. Note if you are using reduced salt, add a couple extra slices to the pan for extra flavour.
• Drain off most of the bacon grease from the pan, reserving a little. Fry potatos and onions in bacon grease until onions have softened and started to become translucent. Poor into a crockpot. Add remaining ingredients to the crockpot except for the reserved two slices of bacon.
• Cook on low for about 6 hours. If you are placing the crock pot on to cook while at work, do preparation work the night before and refrigerate. If you doing this recipe on stove top, simmer for about 40 - 45 minutes, stirring every four or five minutes to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Serve with a sprinkle of bacon and diced green onions as garnish.

MARY'S CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Slice sausages lengthwise then cut crosswise into bite-size pieces (I remove the casings on mine but you don't have to do that).
• In a tall stockpot, on high heat, lightly brown sausage in 2 table spoons of olive oil for about 3 minutes to extract the flavors.
• Add onion, celery, red bell pepper, carrots and a pinch of salt to the sausage and cook on med/high heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are transparent (do not let the onions get brown). Add in the bay leaf, basil, and black pepper at this point so that the spices have time to mingle.
• Add in the chicken stock, frozen corn, and creamed corn. Once soup comes back to a boil, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes - stir occasionally.
• Add in milk (or cream) and simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes.
• Check to make sure the carrots are cooked, if the carrots are cooked then turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes then serve and enjoy!
• Other veggies can be added if you have leftovers such as potato, green beans, etc work great in this soup. Also, if a thicker consistency is desired, make a roux and add to soup at the last step when the milk goes inches If you like more heat, add a few splashes of habenero pepper sauce at the end.
• This soup is great the next day, if it lasts that long :).
