Sitting on the dramatic cliffs on the Hudson near Poughkeepsie, NY is the Culinary Institute of America. I used to go with my parents for lunch every time we played Vassar in squash. The food is amazing at their various restaurants, and pretty reasonably priced because it's being made and served by students. I definitely recommend it. Because we loved it so much, my mom bought be The Culinary Institue of America Book of Soups. Every soup I've tried has been delicious. I had a bag of corn that I'd frozen last summer and wanted to finally use it, so I tried this chowder from the book. It has a great flavor and a slight kick and is much lighter than normal corn chowder. This makes 8 servings.
