Add onion, leeks, red pepper, celery, corn and lima beans and saute about 10 to 15 minutes until veggies are cooked.

Meanwhile, prepare your sauce in a saucepan over low to medium heat, melt butter.

Whisk in gluten free flour to combine. (Or use regular flour).

Add half-and-half about a quarter cup at a time and whisk each addition completely into the sauce until one-quart of the half-and-half is used up.

Stir to combine and heat through until mixture is thickened.

Add cream sauce to veggie mixture in Dutch oven pan and stir to combine.

Add additional quart of half-and-half as needed to make chowder consistency.
