This cooler weather has made me crave some warm soups and chowders. Here is one that I made recently for a potluck.

• 1/2 cup Onion, diced
• 2 Stalks Celery, diced
• Olive Oil
• Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
• Fresh Thyme
• 2 large Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups Fresh Corn
• 1 Poblano Chili Pepper, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup Sweet Red Pepper, diced
• 3 cups Stock, homemade or store bought
• 2 Cups Rice Milk (may use cow’s milk if you like)

Heat oil in stock pot over medium. Add onion and celery, saute until translucent @ 6-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Add corn, peppers, and stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for @ 15 minutes.

Add Rice milk and heat for a few more minutes if necessary. Serve and enjoy!

Serves 6-8.
