Found this in a recent edition of the New York Times, but I didn't save the attached article. A great end of summer recipe. Haven't tried this yet but I'm putting it here for safekeeping.

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ears corn, shucked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 lb waxy potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (red or Yukon Gold)

1/2 lime, juice of
creme fraiche (optional) or sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir in corn kernels and pulp, tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes more. Stir in the basil and lime juice. Turn off heat and let soup cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of creme fraiche or sour cream if desired.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This chowder was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.
