Meal No. 3203: Indiana Chicken and Corn Chowder

With a terrific Saturday night gathering of the core RoHo crew, with six around the table and the autumn season upon us, a huge pot of comforting chowder seemed called for. Ever since I first made Brannon Soileau's Indiana corn chowder (I always add chicken to it), it's been a proven and ongoing winner here.

On September 24th, it seemed to earn the approval of the supper six. Perhaps the simple addition of fresh-baked peasant bread, and home-whipped honey butter, were a helpful appeaser.

In Indiana Cooks!, by Christine Barbour and Scott Feickert with photographs by Tom Stio. Bloomington, IN: Quarry Books (2005), p. 64-65. Recipe originally shared with me on 31 December 2006. You can find this, and quite a few other Indiana recipes, if you scroll to the bottom of this article: "Indiana Can Cook" [Published 12 October 2005]. Update: Brannon Soileau's latest adventure is Boss Bagels in San Antonio, Texas.
