Chunky Chowder

August 11, 2011

1/2 Stick Butter
Small Onion, Coarsely Chopped
1 Celery Stalk, Finely Chopped
1 Medium Potato, Coarsely Chopped
6 oz. Kernal Corn (fresh or frozen)
1 Cup Chicken Stock (I prefer my own if I have some in the fridge - if not then I only use Kitchen Basics)
1/2 Cup Milk 
1/4 Cup Monterrey Jack Shredded Cheese
1/4 Cup Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese
1 Tsp Salt
Pepper to Taste

Saute the onion and celery in the butter on medium until tender, approximately 7 minutes.  Add potato.  Cover and turn to low and saute for 5 additional minutes. Add broth and milk and bring to a boil.  Turn down to simmer and cover - allowing for steam to escape.  Simmer for 10 minutes.  Puree 1/2 of the vegetables and return them to the soup.  Add cheese and stir until melted.  Serve!
