Pipers Chowder

This is the pipers chowder that Mom makes. I called Mardee to get the recipe.

5 lg. potatoes (2 cups)

1/4 c. chopped onion

1/2 c. carrots (about 3 large)

1/2 c. celery (3 stalks)

1 can corn (drain depending on desired thickness) recipe calls for creamed corn but I prefer just corn. (Corn goes in last)

Bring above ingredients to a boil in 2c. water and 1 tsp. salt. Simmer 10 mins with lid or until veggies are tender but not over cooked.

Cream sauce:

1/4 c. marg.

1/4 c. flour

2 c. milk

10 oz. colby jack cheese (or sharp cheddar)

Melt marg. and then stir in flour. Gradually add milk and stir until smooth. Stir in grated cheese until melted. Add to cream sauce the can of corn, the veggies and remaining broth. Stir until well mixed. Can add more water or milk to desire consistency. Heat but do not boil. Serve pipping hot.
