Corn Chowder Cuban Style

mmmmm...much better!! Enjoy!

1 large onion, chopped

1 large green pepper, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, minced

Half of an 8 oz can of tomato sauce

2 bay leaves

1 lb pork loin, cut into 2 inch cubes

1/2 lb smoked ham, cut into small pieces (we used kielbasa)

1/2 cup oil

2 medium size potatoes, peeled and cut into 8 pieces

1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3 inch cubes

2 cups of chicken broth

2 (15 ounce) cans whole corn kernels

1 (15 ounce) can cream style corn

2 ears of fresh corn, cut into 2 inch pieces

Salt and Pepper to taste



Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot.  Brown the pork, add chopped onions, green pepper, garlic, bay leaves and tomato sauce.  Cover and simmer until the pork is tender.  Add broth, potatoes, squash and ham.  When potatoes and squash are tender, add canned corn and fresh corn (we actually added the fresh corn at the beginning to give it more time to cook.)  Cook 5 minutes stirring often.  Salt and pepper to taste.
