Blackened Corn Chowder

I took this chowder to a Halloween party last night, and it got great reviews. Sorry there isn't a photo. It was gone before I could get one!


Recipe:

1 T fresh minced garlic
1 red onion, diced
1 3oz can green chiles
3-6(if small) cobs of corn grilled-just blackened
3 diced potatoes
6 T butter
6 T flour
1/2 gallon heavy cream
1 T paprika
Dash white pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Melt a couple tablespoons of the butter in a large pot. Add the garlic and onion and saute until soft. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 1 hour.

*I have used frozen corn and blackened it in the oven. It works just as well. I personally like to double the amount of green chiles, as I like a little kick. If you want to use half and half instead of the heavy cream, I think it would still be great.
