Smoked Salmon and Chipotle Chowder

My wonderful mother in law sent me some delicious gourmet smoked salmon and some recipes to use it in.  I chose this one as the weather has started to cool down a bit and I thought it would be perfect for a nice, warm dinner.  Of course, it goes perfectly with some hot rolls.  The chowder is very simple, but packed with so much flavor!  Everything combines just beautifully.  Of course, to my liking, it's also spicy.  Make sure to remove the seeds from the chipotle pepper, otherwise your tongue will literally be on fire!  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
-1 small onion, chopped
-1 can (14.5 oz) vegetable broth
-1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
-1 cup half and half
-2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
-1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained
-6.5 oz gourmet salmon, drained and flaked
-1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded and chopped
Directions:
Heat oil in large pot.  Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes or until tender.  Stir in broth, milk , and half and half.  Add potatoes.  Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.  Stir in corn, salmon and chopped pepper.  Cook for 5 more minutes.  Enjoy!
