Yummy, Garden Chowder

This chowder is one of my FAVORITE fall recipes! It is super easy to make and is so delish! You could even alter it to fit your tastes, adding meat other veggies or switching to vegan dairy products.

4T      Butter
1        Onion, Diced
3        Bell Peppers, Diced
1pkg  Corn, removed from the cob (approx. 4 ears)
3c      Broth, Chicken (or whatever is handy)
1/4c   Flour (I use wheat, because it is handy at my house)
2c      Half and Half
1c      Monterey Jack, Shredded
1c      Pepper Jack, Shredded


* In your pot, melt your butter. Then add your onions so they can start to cook, after a few minutes and when they become translucent add in your bell peppers. After allowing the mixture of onions and peppers to cook for a few minutes add in your corn and allow it to cook for a minute or two.

* Sprinkle your mixture with the flour and then combine. Add your broth and stir, then allow to thicken for 4-5 minutes. Turn to low as you add in your half and half, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.

* Stir in your cheeses. Once they have melted completely and it has reached desired temperature, devour!
