Potato Corn Soup

 

 

 

So what do you with a a little left over corn, a half an onion, a mushroom and a few potatoes?  Potato corn chowder!  However, a traditional chowder has cream, so I will call this one a soup.  This a quick soup to make.  Pretty much done in the time it takes to cook the potatoes.

 

 Potatoes are a good source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, copper, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber.   Potatoes are also low calorie when compared to other favorite foods:

 

1 cup potato 116 calories

1 cup pasta 221 calories

1 cup brown rice 218 calories

1 1/2 cups chopped sweet onion

3/4 cup chopped mushroom

4 cups cubed potatoes (skin on)

1 tablespoon Low Sodium Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base

6 cups water

1 cup non-dairy milk

4 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste

 

Coat a 4-5 quart pot with spray oil.  Add the onions and mushrooms and saute over medium high heat until caramelized

Add the water, potatoes and vegetable base.  Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are done.

Add the corn and break up some of the potatoes with a potato masher.

Mix the milk and cornstarch and slowly stir into to the soup.  Stirring constantly, bring back to a boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes. 

Remove from heat and enjoy.
