Very yummy and so easy!

Yummy and extremely easy to make. I loved the sweetness that the creamed corn added. This soup is a good one for both kids and adults. It's not terribly fattening, either; although you could always change that by adding cheese! ;) Thanx for sharing!

A definite winner!!! Will definitely make again. My family loved it! I was wondering how a small can of ortega chilies would taste if added! Hmmmmmmm Thank you Libby for sharing!

This recipe is a keeper! I used unpeeled red potatoes and a red onion as well as the pepper it calls for, so the color is really pretty. I used whole milk, and added some ham in with the bacon. I doubled the frozen corn, and used Ms. Dash type seasoning that I had in my pantry rather than buying thyme.

This was a pretty good recipe. I sauteed everything in a stockpot so that I could triple the recipe. I also did not have fresh corn (or frozen) so I used 3 cans creamed corn and 1 can sweet corn. I also added about 3 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes and lots of salt and pepper to spice it up.
