Comfort Food

Have your ever been to a Mimi's Cafe? They serve the most delicious food, something sure to please everyone. I love their soups and in the food section of yesterdays paper they shared the recipe for their corn chowder.... it is so yummy. We are still having lots of rain here and what could be better for dinner then a bowl of comfort food.
All the ingredient......I did use half and half as called for but I think you could use milk, it just wouldn't be as thick and creamy. One other small change I didn't have white pepper so I used good old traditional black.
Some chopping and then into the pot to simmer. It was so funny, I had a hard time getting this picture, my camera lens kept steaming up.
Into a bowl, and served with a warm crusty roll.........M'm, M'm Good! My husband was with Campbell Soup for 38 years so I took the liberty of using their famous line.
Here is the recipe. If you click to enlarge you will be able to read it.
Did you see these darling measuring spoons in the first picture?? Hearts! I love, love, love them. On the back of each spoon it says "and a pinch of love". How perfect is that?
Earlier in the day I received a surprise package in the mail from the most wonderful sister in law in the world. She is really like a sister and I love her very much.....we have been connected for nearly 50 years. She lives in Texas and even tho she is miles away she is just a phone call away. Oops, I got sidetracked, in the package were these precious measuring spoons and I just had to use them right away.
It is said.........Soup is liquid comfort~~author unknow.
What is your comfort food on a cold and rainy night??? If you make corn chowder ~~ enjoy! Linda
