I have to tell you something

We got 5 ears of beautiful, buttery farmer’s market corn on Sunday and hastened to make it into chowder before it dried out.  Luckily for us, the corn was sweet and delicious.  I made a chowder out of almost nothing: take the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife and boil up the cobs, with salt and pepper, in some water.  Meanwhile, sautee diced scallions, some butter and flour until they are incorporated.  Add some milk (I used organic skim, but you can also use half and half if you are feeling ambitious) and heat, add the corn cob broth, thicken, add kernels, simmer.  That’s it!  Corn, water, scallions, flour, milk.  Delicious, healthy, easy.
