Hot, but Sweet Corn & Potato Chowder

• cooking oil
• 2 yellow onions, diced
• 1 leek, thinly sliced
• 2 (15 1/4 ounce) cans corn
• 6 small red potatoes
• 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 14 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 (15 1/4 ounce) cans creamed corn
• 12 cup milk (to thin the soup)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1. put a bit of oil in a big stock pan, and add the onions (it will be a lot, i always just run these through the cuisinart to get good thick sections instead of squares and it saves on the tears).
2. cook the onions for ~10 min, until they are clear and a little brown.
3. add the leek and corn, cook for 5 more minute.
4. add the creamed corn and potatoes.
5. if necessary, add milk to thin the soup out a bit and cover the potatoes.
6. stir in the spices.
7. cover and simmer for 20 min, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
