Corn Chowder Recipe #378592
Based on a recipe from Paula Boyer Roughny's book, Happiness Is A Kitchen In Maine. She says, "Immensely delicious towards the end of the time of year when local farmers sell fresh corn. At the beginning of the harvest your sensuality is more richly rewarded by eating corn on the cob and getting butter on your fingers." I confess that I use a can of corn instead of corn on the cob and still find this delightful!
