I was craving for some chowder but didn't have any cream and had no idea of the recipe. I searched the net and found some ideas, modified it based on ingredients i had on hand, and experimented with making roux for my cream base using powdered milk.

Steps

30 mins

1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice into bite-size pieces.
2

Boil the potatoes in your 2 cups water until slightly tender and set aside.
3

While the potatoes are boiling, peel and chop the onion finely and open the canned corn. DO NOT DRAIN!
4

In a large enough saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onions, making sure to keep the flame on low heat to prevent the butter from burning.
5

Combine the flour and powdered milk before adding into the onion and butter. This is your roux, and will be used as a thickener for the chowder.
Note: instead of using powdered milk, you can use fresh milk and just add it in the next step.
6

Once the butter has been absorbed by the flour and milk, add a little of the liquid from the canned corn and mix until you get a paste-like consistency.
7

Continue adding the liquid slowly, making sure the mixture is free from lumps, until you have drained the can.
8

Add the boiled potatoes and the corn and bring to a boil.
9

Add in the dried celery leaves, crushing to make a fine powder. Season with salt, pepper and chili powder as needed.
Note: if using fresh celery, add in the chopped stem and leaves after simmering.
10

Keep on low flame and simmer for 5-10 minutes, making sure to give it a stir now and then to prevent the potatoes from clumping.

Serve and enjoy! :)
