i have a flank steak marinating at home in a pineapple juice/rum/brown sugar mixture, and i'm thinking up a recipe for a ham/potato/corn chowder. [sigh] i have too many ideas and not nearly enough time to cook them all (especially while on sea duty

The trick to a cream soup is to make everything like you would a non-milky soup, and then add the milk stuff right at the end. Hopefully you won't poison your guests like I did. :(

Off the cuff, I would melt some butter in a deep stewpot, then GENTLY fry an onion until it's very brown. Then add the ham and potatoes and brown, then add about 2 cups of broth. Don't forget the black pepper. If you're feeling cholesterol-prone, skip the butter and ham and use bacon and the bacon dripping. After the potatoes are cooked in the broth, add the corn, cook till done, then 2 cups of whole milk. Sound about right?

When are you going to be in Norfolk again?

It's never too late. I'll keep my TV tuned to FN just in case you change course.
