Summer Fresh Corn + Zucchini Chowder

Never in my life did I think I would have a little corn patch in my backyard but when you marry a farmer, that’s what you get and I LOVE it. It’s been so fun to pull a couple ears from out back and add it as a side for dinner or in a dish. For this dinner, I attempted to use as many things that Grant has grown into one recipe. The result was so good.

I found this recipe for Summer Fresh Corn and Zucchini Chowder on Little Broken and it’s definitely going to be a make again. The recipe itself is super easy and quick for a soup. The only thing that took awhile was chopping everything up. I pre-chopped everything at the beginning which made the recipe that much easier.

INGREDIENTS FROM THE GARDN

From the garden we used zucchini, potatoes, garlic, yellow onion and sweet corn. After harvesting a couple crates full of garlic, potatoes and onions, we use them throughout the year so we don’t have to buy any from the store. Thankfully this year we have a place to store them besides underneath the guest bedroom. Who doesn’t love to have a crate full of onions under their bed?

To go with the chowder, I made us some grilled cheese using my favorite bread ever, Dave’s Killer Bread- 21 Grains and Whole Seeds. And of course, a glass of half sweetened tea that I like to brew up and keep loaded in our fridge. Keeps me away from chick fil a.
