I am famous for this CORN CHOWDER

Since this is about corn, generic canned corn is okay, but I really love green giant - the corn is in great shape in the can and not in pieces and it is really sweet. I have even added crabmeat to this recipe (right at the end) and it makes for a good twist.

Salt Port - diced
Shallots or Leaks
Garlic
White Wine
White Maine Potatoes - WITH skins - washed and diced

Tarragon
Thyme
Salt and Pepper
Franks Red Hot or Tabasco

1 Can Corn w/ juice
(pay the extra 20 cents and buy Green Giant or Delmonte)
1 Can Creamed Corn (ditto from above)

1 C 1/2 and 1/2
1/2 C milk
1 Can Evaporated Milk

Slowly brown salt pork, shallots/leaks and garlic.

Stir in potatoes, tarragon & thyme

Add wine and bring to a slow boil. Add corn(s) and stir. Reduce heat allow to cool for a minute or two.

Add 1/2 & 1/2
Add evaporated milk, milk
Bring up to temp- DO NOT BOIL!
Add red hot to taste - not meant to overpower, just meant to season.
