"This hearty big batch Corn Chowder is a meal in itself, our Corn Chowder go to. Perfect for lunches or evening meals on family weekends. When making for the two of us I freeze in meal size portions and add to my freezer stash. This chowder is very freezer friendly, great to have on hand for the times you need a meal in a hurry."
