Corn and Chicken Chowder
This chowder is so hearty and filling. It’s full of the sweet flavor and crunch of corn, there are lots of juicy chunks of chicken, and then – I top it with crispy bacon and cheese.
Soup, or rather chowder, doesn’t get much better than this. Thick, creamy, and so flavorful. Even men will eat it.
