Soups are perfect this time of year. I don’t think anything tastes better on a cold winter day than a bowl of hot soup.
I love to make soups because they are usually a meal in a bowl. Yes, you can add some bread or something else to it, but you do not need to. A bowl of soup is usually enough on it’s own.
I especially like this soup because it is a slow cooked soup.

I might try brocolli instead of corn in this too.
Tried this today. Very good flavor, but I had to thicken it up a bit. As written it turned out with a broth consistency instead of chowder. When I think chowder, I think of thick and creamy. Next time I may add some shredded chicken breast also.
How many servings does this make?
About 6, but I would say more if you serve it with bread or other things on the side.
