Stokely's Corn Chowder

Submitted by CaramelPie

"I found this recipe in a Stokely's canned vegetable ad in a magazine when I first married. My family loves it. When I took some to a sick friend, she called her MIL to come & try it. She put it in a college fundraiser cookbook. I've also put it in a school fundraiser cookbook, and have had several compliments on it. I can't find the exact sizes of cans specified, but the closest sizes available work just fine."
