Categories: Chicken, Corn,



"Every August my Grandmother and her cousin would use our farm grown sweet corn to make corn chowder seasoned with lots of bacon and onions. I adapted a recipe from Cooking Light magazine for a lighter version, one that adds chicken and cheese. My family loves it and I often keep it warm in a slow cooker to be served at work potlucks."

I made this last night for supper. It was absolutely amazing. A very easy recipe to put together even for a weeknight meal. Love how so creamy it is. My family enjoyed it so much. Everyone went back for 2nds and 3rds. Thank you for sharing this.

Loved this chowder! What a great flavored bowl of chunky chowder this makes. I didn't use the Goya jamon, but did add in about 1/2 cup of chopped leftover smoked ham shoulder cut into small chunks for the flavor, and I substituted canned milk for some of the milk, and then added in Half and Half for the rest of the milk portion. I love that I have another great chowder recipe to keep me warm in the winter! Thanks so much for sharing with us Acerast! Linda
