HEALTHY CORN CHOWDER
This corn chowder can be a side dish or serve as a main meal. It is tasty and filling with 'hidden protein' (beans) that you'll never even notice. The recipe originally came from Nutrition Action and I've made a few tweaks. The evaporated milk makes the chowder taste much richer. I like to serve this crumbled Morning Star Breakfast Strips (fake bacon) that people can sprinkle on top of their chowder and crusty bread. Super healthy, super low fat and pretty low salt (especially for soup)!

- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add (the peppers if fresh), carrots and corn and stir well.
- Stir in the potato, milk, broth, and thyme.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (until the potatoes are tender).
- While it simmers, drain and rinse the beans (helps eliminate the 'toot' factor) and them mash them with a fork in a small bowl until they form a paste.
- Stir the beans into the soup and cook until warmed or ready to eat.
- Serve hot.
- For Vegetarian use the Vegetable Broth of course.
