One of the more delightful things about colder weather in Japan is that the vending machines start selling warm drinks. But they don’t stop at just coffee and tea; some also offer sippable canned soups, the most common variety being corn potage. So about a week ago, as I sat drinking from can of hot coffee in one hand and a can of corn potage in the other, I was suddenly inspired to draft a new recipe: porter corn chowder.
I finally got around to making it tonight, and I must say it was rather delicious, and perfect for the dismal weather we had today.
Note: I hardly ever measure anything when I cook, so the key phrase in all my recipes is “to taste.” I’ll include approximate measurements where I can, but they’re certainly not absolute.
So, without further ado…
Porter Corn Chowder
