flour over vegetables. Stir 1 minute to cook the flour. Gradually stir in
the broth, scraping up the flour on bottom of saucepan. Bring chowder to a
boil. Add the corn and sugar. Cover saucepan, reduce the heat to medium-low
and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring the
chowder occasionally. Add cream, season chowder to taste with salt and
pepper.

Transfer 1-1/2 cups of chowder to a blender and puree. Mix puree back into
chowder. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Ladle into bowls and
top with a dollop of roasted pepper cream. Makes 4 to 6 bowls. ________ The
