Creamy Corn Chowder

My sister gave me the "Our Best Bites" cookbook for my birthday.  Well - it was for my birthday but I actually got it about 6 months later.  That's how we roll in my family.  I had never heard of their blog before receiving the cookbook but I quickly went through it and made a mental note of different recipes that I wanted to try.  The recipe for Creamy Corn Chowder was one that I knew that I wanted to try when it was cold enough here. We really liked this.  I have trouble when it comes to cooking potatoes though.  I feel like I am always either over cooking or under cooking.  When red potatoes are involved I think I typically under cook - is it just me, or do they take way longer to cook?  The recipe said to cook 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender; I'm pretty sure that I cooked the soup for 30 minutes and because it was late and we were hungry I gave up.  It probably should have cooked for at least 10 minutes longer than I cooked it.

Other than that I followed the recipe.  This is definitely a make again recipe!
