Parmesan Corn Chowder

Submitted by Katzen

"I first tried corn chowder at the Sheridan Guildford in Saskatoon, SK, Canada, and absolutely loved it. This is the closest recipe I've found to the decadent yumminess of the soup. Funny thing is, I never thought I'd like corn chowder, and tried it because I spent so much time there that I became sick of the rest of the menu. Am I glad I did! Enjoy!"

We had a snow day so I made this for lunch today. I followed the recipe as written and we all enjoyed this.

Made this recipe almost as written, but did change/add two things ~ I added a can of drained kernels of corn, mostly 'cause I wanted more corn in the chowder & I also used a yellow belll pepper instead of the red! This chowder came together very easily, & it made for A VERY SATISFYING LUNCH! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
