Corn Chowder

Near the end of the summer a neighbor gave us a bunch of corn on the cob. There was so much of it, I had no choice but to freeze a bunch. So, I had never made corn chowder before, but it sounded so good, I just had to learn how. I looked up several recipes on the internet, and decided to take what they had in common and simplify it. What I made turned out great! Everybody in my family loved it, even the ones who usually complain ate it and asked for more! With such raving endorsement, I couldn't help but share it here.

Corn Chowder

1 rib celery, diced
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 can of corn, drained (I used about a pint frozen corn kernels)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Just barely cover with water. Boil gently until the potatoes are tender. Turn off the stove and let the heat dissipate for about 3 minutes. Add 4 oz. shredded cheddar. Serves about 4.
