A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food

Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Food Lovers Guide | Main | Debate On Cooking For Two »
This week was not a big cooking week (it was more of the going to Chinatown or ordering take-out kind of a week), but when I finally slowed down a little I did try the Edamame Corn Chowder from Everyday Food. Since the Park Slope Food Co-op doesn't exactly carry creamed corn, I had to improvise with frozen. I also added cream instead of half-and-half (partly to compensate for the corn issue and partly because we never have half-and-half but we use cream for baking and sauces) and Fines Herbes with salt and ground pepper instead of Italian seasoning, because why overcrowd an already crowded spice drawer? The soup was good, but not as good as it probably would have been with the softer creamed corn. Of course, the best idea might be to just use a good corn chowder recipe that I know I like and add the edamame in before it's done (though probably less than the 2 cups in this recipe). I would let it cook a little longer than it did in this recipe too, since the texture just wasn't as soft as I would like, and I would add the bacon back in a few minutes before it was done so that the flavors could all mix.
So that would be my ideal version of this soup, but it's a good idea in whatever form you decide to make it.
