That's one reason to use stock in it; when I do, I keep boiling it down until it's nearly all evaporated, concentrating the flavors and adding a lot of depth to the chowder. I also use a lot of corn and add the cream and milk in a ratio that addresses the final consistency rather than the fat/calorie count.<BR/>Thanks for reading and commenting!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030844367057262337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945840506950424198.post-64685945597070421422008-09-17T20:48:00.000-04:002008-09-17T20:48:00.000-04:00soooo - my batch was ok - it lacked a little depth...soooo - my batch was ok - it lacked a little depth but the cream i had was old so i had to toss it - i will definately look for the salt pork - probably adds more depth, but the corn was fresh and tasty! will try one more time and freeze and whip out during the cold of january! so, one of mom's tips was to add one can of cream of corn (which is gross) but it thickens it up a bit....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945840506950424198.post-12843820860786911912008-08-25T17:16:00.000-04:002008-08-25T17:16:00.000-04:00With corn season in full swing, we're making this ...With corn season in full swing, we're making this as fast as we buy more salt pork!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030844367057262337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945840506950424198.post-39281432495459140962008-08-17T02:21:00.000-04:002008-08-17T02:21:00.000-04:00Oh yum, I am going to try this when we move into o...Oh yum, <BR/><BR/>I am going to try this when we move into our next cabin at here at Hume Lake. Then I can finally get all my kitchen stuff out. I miss our family meals together with your family. And that bottle of wine sounds wonderful... since we can't have it, anymore, enjoy for us. But if by chance you need to come out to California for a new bottle or two, stop by our neck of the woods. <BR/><BR/>Until we break bread again, may God richly bless you and yours. Cheers!
