The required ingredients for this Corn Chowder recipe are:

• 4 medium size ears of corn (or 2 cups of corn kernels)
• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 medium/small onions (or 1 large)
• 2 cups water
• 2 tbs flour
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 3 tbs butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. If Starting with Corn on the Cob: Put your corn on the cob into cold water and bring, quickly, to a boil. Let the corn cook for 10 minutes (no more - the corn will soften some more when you add it to the soup). Set the corn aside to cool.
   If Starting with Canned or Frozen: If canned, drain your corn kernels well. If frozen, take corn out to thaw.
2. Put 3 1/2 cups of milk into the small pot and set on medium-low heat to scald. When the milk foams, take the pot from the burner and set it aside. Don't let your milk burn.
3. While the milk is heating:
   * Dice your potatoes into 3/8 to inch pieces and set it aside.
   * Dice the onion and set aside.
   * (If you've boiled corn on the cob) Cut the corn kernels away from the cob and set them, in a bowl, aside for use later.
4. In the large pot, heat up the butter (3 tbs) and sautee the onion and flour (2 tbs) until the onion becomes shiny. Keep stirring this because flour burns quickly!
5. When the onions are fully separated and glisten, add the (2 cups) water and the diced potatoes. Let the potato cook until they are softened.
6. Add the scalded milk (less the skin that forms on the surface) and the corn. Let cook for an additional 5 minutes.
