This was a really nice way to use up leftover grilled corn. The chowder was thick and chunky as described and easy to make. The shrimp were a nice addition. DH and I were generous with the chile powder and shredded cheese which we added to our individual servings. While we enjoyed this for lunch, we did feel as though the recipe was missing something. Maybe garlic? The only modification I made was to sub veggie broth for the chicken broth. Thanks!
