This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Copycat Mimi's Cafe Corn Chowder

The soup is thick and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness from the corn. The potatoes add a heartiness to the soup, while the celery and onion give it a subtle savory flavor.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Very good flavor but a little thin for a chowder

I love Mimis chowder an this turned out pretty close! I altered it a bit, added an extra cup of corn (because I love corn) and I used sweet corn. I wanted it to cook faster so I sliced the potatoes fairly thin and it didn't take very long to cook. I do wish it had come out a bit thicker, I let it simmer for a while after adding the cream but it didn't thicken much but it still tasted great!!
