corn and potato chowder.

Pin It

It's no secret that I love soup. (As evidenced here, here, here and here - to mention a few.)

But anyway, this soup!

I made this on a lazy Sunday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner. It's nothing fancy, but it's comforting and delicious. That's what matters!

It's extremely simple to make and only requires a little chopping and some stirring. It comes together rather quickly with a fairly short cooking time. The only thing I would change the next I make it will be to serve it in sourdough bread bowls. I feel like that would be a wonderful decision!
