CORN AND CHEDDAR CHEESE CHOWDER



Corn and Cheddar Cheese Chowder image

A wonderful, hearty soup, recommended for cold winter nights. This recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks, The Vegetarian Epicure. In my opinion, using milk instead of cream does not alter the quality (it's how I have always made it). I usually double the recipe for a larger amount. Enjoy!
