How to Make Aztec Corn Chowder

Aztec corn chowder is one of our favorite recipes!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/4 C. butter
• 3 1/2 C. frozen corn
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 C. chicken stock
• 2 C. milk
• 1 tsp. fresh oregano leaves, chopped

1. These days many people are going back to the stove for dinner. With threats of a recession and everyone holding onto their money the family supper time is back in style. So why not? Save your mortgagegand learn to cook again! Aztec corn chowder is one of my families favorites! I hope you enjoy.
   
   In a 5 to 6 quart pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn and garlic. Cook, stirring until corn has turned a little bit darker than when you began. Remove from heat.

2. Whirl in chicken stock and 2 cups of the corn mixture in a blender until smooth. Add this mixture back to the pan.

3. Stir in milk, oregano, and chilies. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Season with salt to taste.

4. We like to serve corn chowder over top of some crushed tortilla chips. Homemade slasa or Texas Caviar goes nice on the side with this as well. ENJOY!

Tips & Warnings

• Garnish with tomato and fresh cilantro if desired.
• For dessert? Try Bryers Overloaded Fried Ice cream.
• Be careful, you might actually like learning to cook, AGAIN.
