Creamy Corn Chowder
The end of the summer is upon us sadly. For my family, the start of fall also means the end of the corn harvest at our favorite farm stand. This summer, it’s particularly bittersweet as the farm stand is closing after decades to make way for new condos. I bought as much as I could carry and I am getting ready to freeze some. In the meantime, this creamy corn chowder was the perfect way to enjoy the end of summer.
My kids love to shuck the corn for me. It’s an easy job for the kids to help with in the kitchen!

I love corn chowder so I need to make this! I have corn in the house it’s ready to go and I need an idea for dinner tonight this is perfect.
Yum! I love corn in and on everything. I have never had corn chowder before, but I’m sure I would enjoy it.
I never had corn chowder before. Im going to have to try it.
Yes to all the corn! I love recipes where my kids can help, and they love shucking corn.
That sounds delicious! I love a good soup in the fall and winter but don’t have a chowder in my repertoire already.
I am always looking for new recipes to try. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make this on the weekend.
This recipe looks so delicious and easy to make. I will have to make some on the weekend. My kids are going to love it.
This is the perfect time of the year for homemade soup. I am excited to give this recipe a try. It looks so good.
With the cooler Autumn temperatures on the way this Corn Chowder recipe will come in handy. It looks like a great family comfort meal. I’ll have to bribe my son to shuck the corn for me! 😉
Your cream corn chowder looks delish and the perfect fall meal. I love the way you get your son involved in the cooking process which I bet is a lot of fun for you both.
Wow, this sounds interesting. I never knew or attempted to make any kind of chowder before, I might try this in an allergy friendly way with coconut milk. 🙂
Your recipe is soooooo good! I can’t wait to try it!!
