Chicken Corn Chowder
The Pilgrims called it pottage, a sustaining mix of corn, potatoes, herbs, spices and meat. And in many ways, it saved the Plymouth colony. In 1623, Massasoit, the sachem or chief, of the most powerful tribe on Cape Cod, fell ill. His friendship with the Pilgrims had saved them in their first few years in New England. Pilgrim elders rushed to his village and were able to revive their friend with a corn chowder. Massasoit lived another 34 years, contributing mightily to the success of the Massachusetts Bay colony. Chicken Corn Chowder, truly a New England tradition for almost 400 years!

Corn
Zea Mays conquers the World... in less than 500 years: A very unusual grass, native to Central America, maize or, as we now mostly refer to it, corn, really got its "big break" on the world stage, again, from Columbus. In May 1493, he captivated Queen Isabella's court with stories of this tall strange grass with "ears as thick as a man's arm". 
This funny grass was the principal source of food for the Native Americans he had encountered and soon became a favorite in Europe and, eventually, throughout the world. Today, corn is the principal source of food energy for Americans and most of the world's people.
We use a simple, classic sweet corn to add flavor, color and texture to our soups, in much the same way early European settlers of New England were taught by the Native Americans. Corn in Soup: a New England tradition of great taste since before there even was a New England!
Onions
Onions: The Vegetable with Global Roots: The origin of the Onion is well debated.
It is thought to have either originated in Asia or on the Indian sub-continent... yet varieties are found all over the world. It is said that Columbus carried onions to the West Indies on the Santa Maria and the Pilgrims carried onions to New England on the Mayflower. For sure, varieties of onions existed in America way before the arrival of the Europeans... wild varieties of onions were served at the first Thanksgiving.
Coriander
Coriander – a Zesty Combination of Sage and Citrus:
A juicy relative of parsley, Coriander has a distinctive, citrus-like flavor. Believed to be an aphrodisiac, this fruit has ancient ties. It is thought to come from Persia (modern Iraq and Iran), was found in Egypt 3,000 years ago, and is mentioned in the Bible and in Greek writings by Hypocrites. In the book of One Thousand and One Nights (or Arabian Nights), the tale is told of a merchant who had been childless for 40 years, but was cured by a concoction that included coriander.
Coriander was also one of the first herbs cultivated by the Colonists upon arrival in the New World and was thought to have healing properties and was especially effective in treating the loss of appetite... makes sense given how much it adds to the flavor of our soups.
Our yummy Chicken Corn Chowder has a bit of a bite to it, with roasted red peppers, coriander and a dash of cayenne in there. Try serving with easy, cheesy quesadillas: tuck some grated cheddar or mixed cheeses between two flour tortillas and toast in the oven or microwave.
