Another recipe as a result of a Costco Multi purchase of two packs…this time asparagus! Had to do some searching since I did not want to use potatoes since I had none…LOL
Asparagus and Corn Chowder
Found this recipe in Pittsburgh Post Gazette dated July 2, 1945….. still works with a couple of modifications for today. Check out my options below the recipe!
1 pound asparagus ( Cut off tops and set aside; cut remaining stalks into 1 inch pieces)
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 ½ cups water
1 can of creamed corn
1 cup of milk
½ teaspoon sugar
1 small white onion chopped
¼ cup flour
2 Tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
Simmer asparagus STALKS in medium boiling salted water for 10 minutes.
Add asparagus tops and onion – continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
Add creamed corn, milk and sugar. Stir and reduce heat a bit.
Mix melted butter with the flour and slowly add to the chowder mix until it begins to thicken.
Serve.
OPTIONS:
1. While the asparagus is simmering away, chop up two chorizo sausages (Johnsonville Italian would also work) into slices and brown in a small frying pan. Add them to the chowder before adding the flour/butter mix.
2. Consider adding some chopped red pepper when you add the asparagus tops…
Buen provecho...2022
