Quick Soup for cold nights

This recipe is from a small column that once appeared in our local newspaper.  It is a quick and easy vegetarian version of Corn Chowder.  Don't be fooled by the fact that it's vegetarian; it is tasty and satisfying!

Easy Corn Chowder
serves 6







1/4 c onion, chopped
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
1 quart fat free milk
4 c whole kernel corn (frozen is fine)
2 c reduced shredded cheddar cheese (reduced fat)
salt
pepper


Melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until tender. Stir in the flour, blending thoroughly. 

Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and thickened.  Add the corn  and cheese.  

Heat until the cheese is melted, continuing to stir. Do not boil.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve piping hot.
