Looking for a really good Corn Chowder Recipe

When we lived in Japan, the corn chowder there was to die for. I have tried many recipes, hoping to find the creamy, sweet flavor that we loved so. The corn in our garden really looks good this year, and John asked me to make fresh corn chowder.

Anyone have a good soup that they want to share???

Ok-- I am floored that our "OES Chef" has never had corn chowder. :? :D
Here's my favorite...it comes from the Old Mill Restaurant in Pigeon Forge, TN:

1 Tbs margarine
3 cups of diced onions
3/4 cup crumbs (unsalted oyster crackers)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups water
1 cup clam juice (I like this in it but my husband likes it without)
2 cups chicken, beef or ham broth (I use chicken)
3 cups of diced potatoes
2 cups of half and half
2 cups frozen corn kernels, defrosted (I love fresh)
1 red and 1 green bell pepper, chopped and sauteed briefly in butter, add salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste.
*I added this when sauting peppers...instead of butter we fry bacon and then add peppers. My husband wants the bacon! Usually only a couple of slices and then take out and chop up.

Mix liquids and butter, add potatoes and onions, cook until done. Mix cracker crumbs, flour and seasonings. Add to potato and onion mixture. Add red and green peppper, mix well, bring to boil, add cream and corn, simmer 15-20 minutes.

The Old Mill makes wonderful hush puppies they serve with honey butter with the corn chowder...makes it even better. Definitely not a low calorie meal but so good...if I have a crowd coming I double or triple recipe and folks love it summer and winter...s good with a panni sandwich as well.
so where is the recipe for the hush puppies? two of my favorite foods corn chowder and hush puppies, although I don't think I have ever thought of combining them.
