Hearty Corn Chowder

Submitted by Marli

"This chowder is great when you feel like soup, but haven't the time to make up a pot. It'll satisfy a hearty appetite. I love this topped with lots of fresh parmesan & some crusty bread."

The only reason I didn't place a 5th star is that the serving size is wrong. I dished out four bowls for a opening dish, however I still had half the soup left. Not that I don't mind leftovers, but I wasn't expecting so much left over.
