I'm in a little bit of a soup obsession lately. But I feel like it's a good obsession to have. Making soup is just so great. And it's perfect to freeze for lunches or just for those days you don't want to make anything. Plus soup is a fantastic comfort food. Nothing makes you feel cozier than a terrific bowl of soup. As we all know I am also a little fanatical about Jamie Oliver right now so of course I have combined my 2 current obsessions and made a Jamie Oliver soup. Chili corn chowder to be exact.
Things were going pretty well in the making of this soup, until I realized that Husband had used our last bit of cheddar cheese the night before and I had to run to the store mid way thru preparation to pick up a block of cheddar. That was a bit of a hastle, but I'll not complain about it because he did use up the cheddar by making me a gorgeous mac and cheese dinner which I thoroughly enjoyed. (He even put homemade croutons in the dish which really made it an A+ meal) What a lucky girl I am! Once I had the cheese in hand though I was good to go and was rockin' and rollin' thru this recipe. The recipe came together lickety split and in no time I had myself a lovely bowl of comfort. I love how this soup is rusticly chunky and the dollop of sour cream, while not necessary, is a nice added touch. I'll make this again for sure, after all there's a long Canadian winter ahead of me yet and I'm going to need plenty of warm bowls of soup to get me thru it!
PS - I can't find this recipe on line right now..but if you download J.O's iphone app the recipe is on there!
