Ingredients
2 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 (preferably red)
4 cup boiling veg. stock (or
1 more)
1 lb thin-skinned potatoes,
1 peeled and cut into 1/2
1 dice
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and
1 diced
4 cup fresh or frozen (defrosted)
1 corn kernels
2 tsp fresh or 1/2 t dried thyme
Directions
Heat some stock in the cooker. Cook the onions over medium-high heat,
stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the rest of the stock,
potatoes, red bell pepper, 1 C of corn, and thyme. (She notes here
that if you are using fresh corn, add the cobs too for more
sweetness.)
Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower
the heat just enough to maintain high pressure ad cook for 4 minutes.
(!!! I was impressed !!!) Reduce the pressure with a quick-release
method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess
steam to escape.
Remove the corn cobs (if used). With a slotted spoon, put about 2 C
cooked veggies into a food processor and puree them w/2 more C of the
corn. (I just dumped the 2C corn into the cooker and used one of
those hand-held blenders right in there to puree things together
until it looked nice.) Stir the puree back into the soup together
with the remaining C of uncooked corn. Add salt and pepper and
simmer until the just-added corn is tender, 2-3 minutes.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Later, we find some books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of that period. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Corn & Potato Chowder recipe.
