CORN AND BEAN CHOWDER

This is a nice cold weather recipe. Originally found in the "More With Less" cookbook, I modified it a bit to make it a little healthier. You can add cooked potatoes if you would like a thicker soup, but we didn't feel it needed it. The original recipe called for fresh or frozen corn. I used frozen. I wouldn't attempt to use canned corn here, but my husband hates canned corn and won't eat anything that it is in. So take that on advisement!

SOUTHWESTERN BEAN CHOWDER

Even though there is a bit of heat from the spices and green chiles, my young children love this soup as much as my husband does. I like using white kidney beans-they have a terrific texture. -Juli Meyers, Hinesville, Georgia
