Corn Chowder
Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe and always make a double batch because we rarely have left overs and when we do it is fabulous the next day! I'm not a real "measure it out" girl when I cook so feel free to adjust amounts according to your own tastes.
I do variations at times with this, like i put a spoonful of the bacon grease in the soup and stir for extra flavor (I know, I know bad for you but it's good!) or a dash of garlic powder and onion powder for that extra flavor. Just play around with what you like.
My son loves his thicker so sometimes I add in some potato bud flakes and it thickens it up so nicely.
