This corn chowder is something my kids ask for all the time, they absolutely love this. It is thick, it is hearty, it is basically made up of corn, bacon, potato and milk, ingredients most kids love. I love it as it is so easy and quick to make, it is a meal in itself so you don't need anything else as it is quite filling.
Recently my kids asked for me to make it, but I couldn't find my recipe, it was a cutout from a magazine and I couldn't find it, so I made another one that I found online, it just wasn't the same, we liked it, we didn't love it. Eventually I found my recipe a few days later, made it and we all preferred this recipe to the other one.
The soup is sweet from the corn so I love to add white pepper to it to add a little heat to it.
You can peel the potatoes if you prefer, I quite like it with the skin on, but sometimes I peel them, my kids love it both ways.
So if you want to try a hearty soup for your family, try this, it is filling, it is tasty and it is really easy to make.
