Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil and a knob of butter
1 large onion finely chopped
1 large potato peeled and chopped into 1cm squares
2 sticks Celery finely chopped
1 corn on the cob sliced off or 200g frozen sweetcorn defrosted
1 large red Chilli
2 cloves of garlic crushed
500ml full cream milk
100ml water
Salt and pepper
1 small courgette coarsely grated
200g frozen sweetcorn (to add after the milk)
1 small bunch parsley
A few chilli flakes
A chunk of cheddar cheese finely grated
Cream or cr猫me fraiche

Method

In a medium saucepan bring the butter and oil to a sizzle then add the onion, potato and celery and cook on a medium heat until soft.

Add the sweetcorn, chilli and garlic then cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes more. Now liquidize half of the mixture, return it to the pan, add the milk and water, salt and pepper to taste, the courgette, the additional sweetcorn and allow to come to the boil.

Simmer the chowder for about 5 minutes until all the flavours have mingled. Serve in hot bowls with a sprinkling of chopped parsley, a few chilli flakes and a sprinkling of finely grated cheddar, and some cream or cr猫me fraiche, summer in a bowl!
