Amazing Corn Chowder

I just made the most wonderful corn chowder.  Among all the lovely goodies we received from the food co-op yesterday, there were six ears of corn (there are some advantages to living in Las Vegas; one is that we get produce from California and their first corn crop is in!)  Not wanting it to go bad, I looked for a new recipe and found it here:  http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/corn_chowder/.  I added an Anaheim pepper (also from the co-op) and some cilantro (from my garden).  Delicious.
