I really have issues.  I saw this recipe and thought I could turn it into my own with a few modifications but "corn" as an ingredient started to mess with my head.  You know... corn is bad.  Not really but that's how I think sometimes.  Weird, I know.

This was tasty and my wife liked it as well.  It wouldn't work as a meal for me.  I need more substance but it was a nice appetizer for my gigantic spinach salad.



Yellow Squash and Corn Chowder

- one cup of chopped onions
- 3/4 cup of chopped celery
- one pound of yellow squash, cubed
- one 16oz bag of frozen white corn, thawed and divided
- 2.25 cups of fat-free milk, divided
- one tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- reduced fat cheddar cheese
- one tbsp olive oil

Place half the corn in a blender with one cup of milk; blend until smooth.  Add additional 1.25 cups of milk, thyme, pepper, and salt; blend until smooth.

In a stockpot, sauté onions, celery, and squash in one tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until soft.  Reduce heat to medium, add pureed mixture along with remaining corn and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until heated through.  Serve in a bowl with one tbsp of cheese.
