Corn and Tuna Chowder

Submitted by Brooke the Cook in

"Throw this chowder together and let it simmer away while you get the rest of dinner ready and its nearly done. Not only that but this is a light and tasty soup! This is not a thick chowder - when I want to thicken it up a little I mix 2T cold water and 1T cornstarch together, add to simmering soup until thickened (don't bring soup to boil with milk in it though!)."

I loved this super easy recipe and so did my family. I did make some minor changes - I used regular corn, not creamed, and soya milk instead of dairy milk. I added a good amount of paprika, some parsley, and green onions. I served it with grated cheese on top. It was yum! Thanks Brooke!

Excellent recipe - I also add the juice of an orange and a little orange zest - it deepens the flavour. If you sprinkle a little mature cheddar on the top when serving it it gives the wow factor
