Ten Minute Corn Chowder

Bowl of Ten Minute Corn Chowder with whole grain bread on the side
Makes: 4 servings

Try this quick, easy, and creamy corn soup when you're short on time.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (or oil of your choice)
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups non-fat milk
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme (dried)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups corn kernels (frozen)
  • 4 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded, reduced fat - divided)

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden, about 2 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the flour, milk, mustard, and seasonings in a small bowl and mix well.
  4. Add the milk mixture to the skillet followed by the corn; mix well until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the mixture from burning.
  5. Divide into four bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.
