Buffalo Corn Chower Recipe 485

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt 3 tablespoons butter into the oil; stir in the potatoes, bell pepper, celery, carrots, onion, chili pepper, garlic, salt, black pepper and thyme. Partially cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes to soften the ingredients. Add the corn and heat through. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute; add the beer and stir for 1 more minute before adding the stock and the hot sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Adjust the seasonings, to taste. If the chowder gets too thick, thin it with some water.

Steps:

• Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, drop corn in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter with the hot sauce over low heat (you can heat the pan right on the grill), and stir to combine. Remove pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons blue cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slather hot corn with buffalo sauce. (This gets messy, so do it on a plate or platter.) Sprinkle with the rest of the blue cheese.

Steps:

• Sauté onions and celery in butter in a large pot until tender.
• Add garlic and cook for another minute.
• Reduce heat and stir in flour, cook for 1-2 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add milk, wing sauce, corn, chicken and cream cheese and bring to a simmer. Cook until cheese is melted and soup has thickened.
• Serve topped with bleu cheese crumbles.
