Hi 🙂 I am Samuel Ovcharenko, Victoria Ovcharenko’s oldest son. I am a picky eater so sometimes I make my own food. My favorite soup is corn chowder and I am going to share it with you! This is my first post on Welcome2OurTable.com and hopefully there will be more to come. This is a good way to learn new cooking skills (like using a knife and a stove). I like corn chowder because it’s creamy, it’s nice on a cold day, it has corn and it warms me up inside and out. Every kid (and grown-up) should try it! Check out my Mom’s Creamy Corn Chowder recipe if you want to try the grown-up version.

- 4 tbsp of flour
- 2 cups of chicken stock

- Add diced carrots and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and stir.
- Add 4 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon butter and stir for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring.
- The roux will thicken.
- Turn the heat to high and add milk.
- Stir occasionally and let the liquid come to a bubble.
- Add seasoning: salt, pepper (cayenne and black), thyme, cumin, stir and taste.
- Add corn and heavy cream.
- Serve hot with your favorite bread or crackers
