    I blended some of it with an immersion blender. And the oil I made was basil infused. AWESOME!

    This turned out incredible for us. You must do the sage oil on top! Will absolutely make this again. Delicious.

    I agree this was a bit bland - not bad, it just needed a little something extra. Perhaps just finishing it with a little cream to give it a more velvety texture would do the trick? Overall, though, it's a good, easy soup, and the sage oil is delicious, although I would like to experiment with other herbs, like basil or rosemary. Finishing the soup with the flavorful oil really adds a lot.

    The small victories here are using the corncobs to make a stock and breaking the cobs in half before you slice off the corn. The latter tip did make it somewhat easier to slice off the kernels, so I would use that tip again. Without the flavored oil, this is a very light and fresh tasting corn chowder, although a bit boring. I much preferred it with the sage garlic oil drizzled on top. I think I would have preferred the oil if it were made with basil rather than sage. However, this is a good but simple corn chowder.

    So I completely screwed up this recipe and it still turned out well. My kids were "helping" me cook and in the ensuing chaos I missed the three cups of water for the stock. I thought the liquid was a bit sparse but didn't realize my mistake until the very end. The chowder was very thick but still delicious. I will make it again and add the water next time, which I assume will help the ingredients break down a bit better. The herb/oil sauce added at the end is really stellar.
