We just got back from a trip up north and really wanted a good chowder to eat. So I made some corn chowder since that's what's in season right now. I took this recipe: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/corn_chowder/ and changed it some.

Ingredients:
1/2 onion, chopped up
4 ears of corn, cut off kernels and save the cobs.
1 bay leaf
5ish cups of milk
3 mid sized potatoes, bite sized chopped (I used yukon gold to keep colors the same)
Pinches of salt.

Start up a skillet and drop some oil on there. Saute the onions with some salt until they are a little brown. Pour in the milk and throw in the corn cobs and bay leaf, remember to salt it. Bring it to a simmer and then back off so it doesn't boil and burn the milk. Let this cook, covered, for 15ish minutes. Next throw in the potatoes and corn and let that cook for 10 minutes, more salt. Cover off is fine, but keep it just around simmering. Once it's done and the potatoes are nice a fork tender, take out the cobs and bay leaf. It's ready to eat.
