Potato Chowder

This is the kind of food I want to be eating as the weather gets cooler.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups diced potatoes, parboiled (I like the red ones)
  
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup milk, heated
  
• 2 cups chicken/vegetable broth, heated
  
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• salt, pepper, garlic, hot sauce
  

In the bottom of a big pot, melt butter over medium. Add celery and onion, and cook until softened. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and cook for minute or two, until light brown in color. Stir in the milk and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add potatoes and corn and simmer 30 minutes until slightly thickened and the potatoes are tender. Season to taste. You may leave it chunky or blend half for an even creamier soup.

This is really good served with cheese, green onions, and bacon!
