I made this meal for Jamie and Kristen the other night and it was yummy. Actually, Kristin made the bread and she did a marvelous job. The soup recipe is from the The Best of Bridge "Aces" book but I made some adjustments to it. The bread recipe is from my friend , Rachel. Hope you like it! Post a comment if you tried it out.
Cheddar Corn Chowder
3 Tbsp. butter
1 onion, chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 bay leaves
3/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. sage
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/4 cups light cream (or milk)
1 1/2 cups corn
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
3-4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional but very tasty)
Melt butter. Add onion, potato, bay leaf, cumin and sage. Cook stirring for about 5 minutes. Blen in flour and then whisk in stock and cream. Bring to boil and reduce heat and simmer30 minutes, stirring often. Add corn. Simmer until heated through. Remove bay leaves and heat until melted. Garnish with bacon bits.
PS: I have also added cooked, diced chicken to this.
Drunken Cheese & Herb Bread

2.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBSP sugar
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried marjoram
1 cup shredded cheese
1 12 oz. can beer
*if you're crazy* 1 TBSP seeded, chopped jalapeno pepper
Grease bread tin and preheat oven to 375*Stir together dry ingredientsAdd cheese, beer (and jalapeno) Stir just until combined (will be sticky/lumpy)Pour into pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until goldenCool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes(This makes 12 regular muffins with a little batter left over. I just added it to the loaf I made at the same time. The muffins cook much faster than the loaf. They are just as tasty!)

I think I will try this recipe tonight. I will post everyones reaction tonight after dinner. I am thinking you add the cheese after the corn to the soup.
The bread sounds delicious...can't wait to try it all. What a great idea this is. I look forward to everyone's contributions! I like the title and the description of the blog too...good job!!!
Well...here is my report! The soup was delicious except YOU CANNOT! CANNOT! CANNOT! BOIL SOUP THAT HAS MILK OR CREAM IN IT!!!! Now maybe I will remember that!! I did not put cumin in it because I did not have any. I loved that bread, but did not bake it long enough so it was a runny middle...perhaps I should have made the muffins! Otherwise everything was great. I will make it again!
That sounds more like a disaster than delicious! I always think the cumin is what makes the soup so it's interesting that it tastes good without! Glad it worked out despite burning the soup and undercooking the bread :)
I'm going to make the bread tonight to go with Andrew's chili...can't wait to try the soup when I get the appropriate ingredients!
The bread was great and perfect with Andrew's chili! We made the muffin and they turned out great only had to bake them for 15 minutes and used my stoneware muffin pan! Yummy!
I made the soup last night and it was so yummy! thanks Elizabeth!
