Quick Corn Chowder

My quick and versitle favorite camper recipe. I always carry a can of corn for this heart warming chowder for lunch or supper.

Ingredients

• 1  can corn (I use no salt version)
• 2 - 3  potatoes (whatever variety and we don't peel)
• 1  onion (good sized)
• 1 - 2  Tbsp  butter or olive oil
• dried parsley (a few shakes)
• pepper (salt optional)
• 4  c  water
• 1/2 - 1  c  powdered milk

Preparation

In your 2 quart saucepan, sauté onion in butter over medium heat 'till translucent. Cut potato into small chunks and add to pan . (Wedges are nicer than cubes) Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and add can of corn including any liquid. Add powdered milk, parsley and pepper (salt if you must). Simmer a few minutes to blend the flavors. Try not to boil after you add the milk

Options: You can cook the onion in a slice or so of cut up bacon. If anyone catches a couple of blue gills you can add the bits of fish at the same time as the corn and you'll have a tasty fish chowder.
