Ten Minute Corn Chowder

Serving Size: 1-1/4 cups
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups nonfat milk
2 teaspoons mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
black pepper to taste
2 cups frozen corn kernals
4 tablespoons shredded, reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden, about 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the flour, milk, mustard and seasonings in a small bowl and mix well.
3. Add the milk mixture to the skillet followed by the corn; mix well until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the mixture from burning.
4. Divide into four bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.

Notes:
1. If you don’t have frozen corn, use canned corn, drained or vacuum-packed.
2. The mustard adds an extra boost of flavor to this recipe; however, if you’re not a big mustard fan or have one of the hotter or spicier mustards, you might start with 1 teaspoon.
3. If you have trouble keeping sauces and gravies from turning lumpy, try using a quick-mixing flour.
