Potato Salsa Corn Chowder

Today was my first day back cooking in my kitchen since I lost my cousin...Cooking for me is the best therapy. I made a simple yet yummy soup today and our staff loved it.

The recipe for my chowder is as follows:

Potato Salsa Corn Chowder

In a large stock pot add 5 qts water, 3 T. chicken base, 12 potatoes (peeled and diced), 2 c. shredded carrots, 3 c. corn, bring to a boil, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, add 3 c. salsa, 12 pieces of american cheese, salt and pepper to taste, continue to cook until cheese is melted.

Serve this chowder with a delicious salad and tortilla chips. It is very filling and flavorful

Variation:

Add 2 C. Diced Ham
Add 1 can Diced Jalapenos
Add Sweet Potatoes for a little something different
Add 2 C. Shredded Chicken

I hope you enjoy this chowder. On a cold, rainy day like today it is the perfect thing to warm those cold, damp bones.
