Best Corn Chowder Recipe

This best corn chowder recipe is not only hearty and delicious, but also very easy - and cheap - to make.

This corn chowder recipe is made with Canadian bacon...however, if you have left over ham, this would be a wonderful way to use left-overs. If you want a vegetarian version, you may leave the bacon out, this corn chowder will still taste great.

You may want to serve this potato corn chowder recipe during the winter months when it is chilly outside. Served it with warm homemade bread - or biscuits - and you have yourself a wonderful, cheap and satisfying meal. This soup eaten in front of a roaring fire with a snow storm outside, just adds to the experience in my opinion.

However, no matter where - and with whom - you choose to eat this corn chowder...you will not be disappointed.

For a vegetarian version: omit the Canadian bacon - or ham - and replace the chicken borth with a vegetable broth.
