MARY'S TEX MEX CORN CHOWDER
Since I moved to Germany, my only homesickness has been for US food, especially Mexican dishes & New England fare. I adapted this recipe from a basic corn chowder recipe and it came out really well. The heat is a good level - kick, but not enough to make it inedible for my German guests. :)
