Chicken Corn Chowder

"I had some fresh sweet corn to use up, so made this chowder. It turned out great. I prefer thin chowders, more like a cream soup. You could thicken with flour or cornstarch if you wish. This is best if you use fresh sweet corn cut off the cob, but you can use frozen corn if you need to."
