Ingredients

Olive oil

Frozen corn

4 cup(s), (600g)

Fresh thyme

2 tbs

Light rye bread

4 slice(s)

97% fat-free cottage cheese

65 g, (1/3 cup)

Instructions

  1. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add capsicum and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Heat remaining oil in same pan over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes or until softened.
  2. Add corn and seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, 1 cup (250ml) water and 2 thyme sprig and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove and discard thyme.

  4. Toast bread. Spread toast with cottage cheese and sprinkle with leaves from remaining thyme sprigs. Cut in half and serve with chowder.
