Turkey Cheddar Corn Chowder

After the holidays, and the usual turkey dinner, this is the soup that everyone is waiting for! I usually put the vegetables into a crockpot after they are softened and then add the turkey, stock and milk (though I still wait for the last 10 minutes of cooking before adding the corn and cheese). *This year I added the leftover from our Thanksgiving dinner to the soup: stuffing, mashed potatoes and scalloped corn (substituting these for the diced potatoes and creamed corn) and it was great! Plus it helped clear out the fridge!

Absolutely delicious! Did not change a thing the first time and the creamed corn was a little too sweet for our taste. Second time I made it with plain niblets. Better flavour for us but the corn tended to sink to the bottom. When I make it next time (and this is a keeper for us!) I'll mash the corn first. I made it stove top and transferred it to my slow cooker to tote to a family gathering. It was a big hit. I have also frozen and re-heated it in portions with success. Well done, Likkel!

Terrific! Just the thing to make when you have leftover turkey and veggies from a veggie tray after the holidays. I made this exactly as written, but my cheese wasn't lowfat (I did cut back on a little butter to make up for it though). Everyone loved this and I'll make this every year after Turkey Day. Thanx!
