Mimi's Cafe Corn Chowder

Recipe #145781 | 1 hour | 10 min prep | add private note

This comes from a restaurant that is here in Utah, at least that is where I think it is from. I made it the other night, and it was slightly different from most corn chowders because it didn't use bacon. This is a very mild tasting chowder.

SERVES 9 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt butter in large saucepan. Once melted add celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes (not til brown, just til soft).
  2. 2
    Add water, potatoes, corn, sugar, salt and pepper, making sure water covers everything, adding more if not covered completely. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, usually about 30 minutes.
  3. 3
    Whisk flour into 1 cup of the half and half and then stir into soup.
  4. 4
    Add remaining half and half and simmer until soup is thickened to a creamy consistency (usually about 15 minutes).
  5. 5
    Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if wanted. If the chowder is too thick, add some milk, if it is too thin, simmer for 5-10 minutes more.

This chowder tasted better than anything I have ever eaten at Mimi's. If you leave the corn out it makes a nice tasting potato soup as well. easy to prepare. Thanks Miss Diggy. Bullwinkle.

    This made a lot more than I thought-more like 12-14 servings. It was too rich for us (I had a tummyache later), and it was rather sweet, too. It wasn't terrible, but it really didn't suit our taste at all. If I make it again, I'll skip the sugar, sub milk for the light cream, and halve or quarter the recipe.

    Outstanding! Awesome!...or just moaning was coming from my family. This was so easy to make and the flavor was perfect. This might become a weekly event in my household. Ty so much for the post! Edit to post, Its been overly suggested I make this again this week but triple the batch! The DD said it was even better than Mimi's!

    Just finished making this for my daughter, who is under the weather. I made it to the letter and it is delicious. I would caution anyone who hasn't made it before to add the last 3 cups of half and half a little at a time. I found it was a little too thin and had to simmer it about 15 minutes more. Thanks to Mimi's and Liz Corleone. Carole in Orlando
