Corn Chowder always reminds me of one of my husband’s best friends. He raves about my recipe and I think the secret to its success is the use of fresh corn. Although frozen corn is certainly acceptable, the fresh corn pops in your mouth and adds a special sweetness that is exceptional. I personally think the white cheddar cheese in this recipe gives the corn chowder its WOW factor, but I left it optional here in case you have guests who don’t like their chowder with cheese.

Corn Chowder

This corn chowder gets rave reviews from guests. Although you can use frozen corn, fresh will make it even more flavorful.
