Grandmother's Potato Corn Chowder...

{From the Stokes Home}

ingredients:

1 Quart Chicken Stock
4 Potatos peeled
1 onion Chopped
1 Can of Corn
1 Pint of Half and Half
1/2 cup of Flour
2 cups of Cheddar Cheese
2 Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Pepper

Bring Chicken broth and veggies to a boil
and cook until potatoes are soft
In a seperate container Mix Half & Half with flour until there are no lumps ( We shake it in a tupperware )
Reduce heat and add flour & half & half mixture to soup
add cheese and salt and pepper
and your done!
it is great -
It really only takes as long to make as it takes for potatoes to get soft!
Enjoy!

Brayden & Kylie Attempting to Help peel Potatos -
By the time they finished one potato each
the soup was already done cooking -
so we made a little bowl of mashed potatoes for them
It was pretty funny to watch!

This isn't our fall back dinner but it is really easy and one that Jeb had been craving... So... Carol White (AKA - Grandmother)is the most amazing maker of soups --- and usually we are home in CA and get to enjoy her soups all winter - But this year we have been away we haven't been able to -- So I had to call her and get the recipe - which is hard for her because she just makes it - She doesn't really have a recipe written down - but she gave us what she had - and we made it last weekend and it was wonderful!
