1 15-oz (426 g) can cream-style corn
1 15.25-oz (433 g) can whole kernel sweet corn
1 10-oz (283 g) can diced tomatoes & green chilies
2 Tbsp (28.3 g) sour cream
about 1/2 - 1 tsp (about 2-5 g) ground cumin
about 1/2 - 1 tsp (about 2-5 g) chili powder
dash ground cayenne pepper
few dashes hot pepper sauce
pepper
2-3 oz. (57-85 g) cheddar cheese, grated

Empty all the canned goods into a saucepan and mix them. You can use a fresh,
diced, medium-sized tomato and a chopped medium-sized green chili instead of the
canned tomatoes & chilies, but of course it takes longer to make then. Most
canned tomatoes & chilies, found in the canned tomatoes section of the store,
come in a 15-oz size; my store carried only one brand that comes in the 10-oz
size. Email DHG@homestead.com if you want the name of the brand, although the
larger size would probably work just as well. Place the saucepan over medium
heat. Add the sour cream and spices. Let the mixture get hot, then taste it. You
can add more spices to taste. If it's too spicy for you, you can add more sour
cream. Adjust away! Just before you remove the pan from the heat, add the grated
cheddar and mix it in until it melts. Remove the chowder from the heat. I like
to add fresh, chopped cilantro to the chowder before serving it. Also, serve
yellow, white, or blue tortilla chips with the chowder (blue is definitely eye
appealing).
