Mimi's Cafe Corn Chowder

---

This comes from a restaurant that is here in utah, at least that is where i think it is from. i made it the other night, and it was slightly different from most corn chowders because it didn't use bacon. this is a very mild tasting chowder.

Steps

---

Melt butter in large saucepan.

---

Once melted add celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes.

---

Add water , potatoes , corn , sugar , salt and pepper , making sure water covers everything , adding more if not covered completely.

---

Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender , usually about 30 minutes.

---

Whisk flour into 1 cup of the half and half and then stir into soup.

---

Add remaining half and half and simmer until soup is thickened to a creamy consistency.

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if wanted.

If the chowder is too thick , add some milk , if it is too thin , simmer for 5-10 minutes more.
