MARY'S TEX MEX CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Chop peppers.
• Add to large pot with marjoram, chili powder, oregano, black pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat, until peppers are softened.
• Mix vegetable stock powder & water in a mixing cup.
• Add broth, sherry, potatoes, and hot peppers to pot. Cover and increase heat. Liquid should not quite cover the potatoes. If it does, allow to cook a bit longer to reduce the amount of liquid.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Add corn. Cook another 10 minutes. (This step allows the soup to cool a bit and stop boiling before you add the milk products).
• Add milk and cream. Simmer briskly 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not allow to boil!
• Serve with a savory/salty bread to balance the sweetness & heat of the soup.
