Add the butter, onion, leeks, bell pepper, thyme and cumin; saute, stirring occasionally until the onion and bell pepper are soft. Add the corn, potatoes, and stock. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Use a spoon to mash some of the potatoes and corn against the side of the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the slurry of cornstarch and water. Return to boil and cook until the chowder thickens slightly. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the heavy cream just before serving. Prep Time: 15 minutes. Cook Time: 25 minutes.

The texture of the toasted bread adds an unusual quality.
