Soup buffet

We had family over for lunch on 12/31 and decided to have a soup buffet, plus pretzel thins with cheese spread. I think everyone liked it, except maybe the 7 year old who declares he hates soup!

Corn Chowder

Quick and easy

This is one of my all time favorites. My friend Pat requests this one for lunches.

Makes 3 good sized (main meal) servings

Ingredients:

1 can corn, undrained

1/2 c. chopped onion

1 can sliced potatoes or slice, cook, & drain a 6 oz potato

1/3 c. water

2 chicken bullion cubes

1 3/4 c. milk

1 tsp. margarine or butter

1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp. flour

In a large soup pan, saute onion in the margarine. Add the potatoes, corn (undrained) , water, & bullion cubes. Stir in 1 1/2 c. of the milk, and heat thoroughly. Combine the remaining milk with flour, mix well (our old Tupperware shaker works great). Add to the chowder. Cook and stir until bubbly and thickened.
