Corn Chowder

I have used this simple recipe for more years than I care to remember. It was given to me by a friend from Durham.

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 tbsp flour
2 medium potatoes (part boiled)
8 fluid oz double cream
1 16oz can sweetcorn
8 fluid oz chicken stock
10 fluid oz milk

Fry onion in butter for a few minutes
Remove pan from heat and add the flour.
Set aside
Put potatoes, corn, milk and chicken stock into another pan and bring to the boil over a moderate heat.
Pour a little of this mixture onto the flour and onion mix and blend. Add the rest of the liquid. Put on low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper .
Add chopped chicken. Heat thoroughly.
Add the cream just before serving.
This is delicious with crusty bread for dipping.
