Mimis Cafe has a special place in my heart. We had a huge luncheon there after our wedding and it is the first meal we had after our first baby was born! I love everything on their menu, especially this corn chowder!
Mimis Cafe Corn Chowder Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
6 Tablespoons chopped onion
3/4 cup diced celery
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups cubed, peeled russet potatoes
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 (14 ounce) can creamed corn
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 dash of white pepper
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups half and half cream
Directions:
Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the flour and whisk until smooth and a roux forms (2 minutes). Add onions and celery and saute 5 minutes until soft, but not brown. Add water, potatoes, corn kernels, creamed corn, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk together until smooth. Cover and simmer until potatoes are barely tender, about 30 minutes. Add half and half and simmer uncovered until soup has thickened into a creamy consistency, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I saw this and I went to the store.I’ve never had it before but it sounded good. Just added the half and half and it already tastes yummy! Pinned this one to my tried and true board. Also known as “will make again” board. Thanks for the recipe!
mmm this sounds so good! love that it’s vegetarian, too – no bacon, no meat, just veggies and it looks so creamy!
Creamy, vegetarian and looks DELICIOUS! I love Mimi’s version and the fact that this is authentic makes me eager to make it ASAP
it’s my mom’s favorite soup there!
Looks delish!

One bite and all I could say was WOW! We made it with skim milk instead of half and half, to make it a little healthier, and it was so yummy. Will defiantly be making this one again.
