Ingredients

Instructions

Melt butter in medium pot. Add onions, pepper flakes, and mustard seed. Cook for a minute or two over medium heat, until bubbly. Add flour and garlic and stir well, then cook, stirring frequently, for a few minutes.

Gradually add stock, whisking to combine well. Add potatoes, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes, till the potatoes are starting to feel a little tender.

Add zucchini and mushrooms. Cook for about five more minutes, till all the veg are almost perfect.

Add corn and milk. Cook just until hot--two minutes or so. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm with a garnish of cilantro.

lara · Of course! Also, we had the world's best corn chowder recently at Solbar in Calistoga. It was cold (!), sweet, and rich with corn flavor. Plus it was served over avocado chunks. I want to replicate that next time it's really hot!

Joy the Baker · Cold chowder served over avocado chunks!?  That sounds incredible!
Yours looks lovely too.  I think I'll eat virtually anything that contains milk and potato.

ladycakes · mmm...I love veggie chowders.

I've made a vegan version with margarine and almond milk that was so damn good I make it all the time even though I'm anything but vegan.
