Hi Everyone,
I am going to try and start some sort of foodie, recipe exchange and cooking diary series. Last night I made a warm, spicy and fall flavored menu. I hope you will enjoy it. I made a chipotle shrimp and corn chowder. The recipe was based on something that I found on www.food.com, which is a great place to start looking for new and interesting dishes. I am fundamentally incapable of not tweaking a recipe
- 2 slices thick sliced bacon, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup sherry wine
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1 1/2 cups red potatoes, diced
- 1 -2 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo, minced (or to taste)
- 1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and halved lengthwise
- 1 1/2 cup half and half
