Havrvest Tomato Corn Chowder

Submitted by Lorac

"Havrvest is harvest with a Boston accent when you can't correct the speling of the title. If you are fortunate to have a surplus of tomatoes or corn you can substitute them for the canned ingredients. If the Chowdah gets to thick, add a bit of milk."

This soup has all of my favorite flavors. It was like having a liquid bacon/tomato sandwich without the bread. I can actually still get fresh home-grown tomatoes from my farmer's market. I am sure that fresh is better in this soup. We absolutely devoured this soup. It smells wonderful when cooking, and it looks beautiful in the bowls. The taste was sooo good. Lorac, you have a way with tomatoes that I adore. Thanks for posting the terrific keeper.

This was delicious, and easy. I had leftover corn, and also leftover fried chicken. I cubed the chicken and threw that in, too. That was also tasty and filling. Thanks for sharing the "Havrvest Caan Chowdah"
