CORN CHOWDER WITH CHILIES AND MONTEREY JACK
This chowder is best made with fresh corn on the cob, but if fresh corn is out of season and you are desperate for corn chowder, you may substitute frozen corn that has been thawed. To aleviate the problem altogether, make an extra batch or two at the height of corn season, and freeze to enjoy in the dead of winter when fresh corn is but a distant memory.
