This corn chowder looks so healthy and filling it would be something I could definitely see myself cooking and enjoying, especially now in winter time.

  Yes indeed, Mum,
  I had my first corn chowder in the wintertime when I visited my sister many moons ago in New Jersey, and I felt in love with it, plus New Jersey is a very exciting State of the USA (if you remember The Sopranos)
  Cheers, Missey

Chowder – whilst it’s a term I’ve heard on many American shows, it’s not something I associate with here. However, having read this recipe and its ingredients, I’m loving the thought of making this one.

  Chowder is traditionally with a thicker consistency, and mainly potatoes in it.
  I was told it never has tomato in a Chowder, and in the olden days people used milk, cream or crackers to thicken the soup too.
  I haven’t seen it in Oz but it’s a pretty common soup in the USA and I had quite a bit over there when I visited my family.
  Hope you enjoy it, Missey

I’d definitely add fish into this and serve with chunky slices of bread covered in butter. Thanks for sharing.

  Lovely sour dough – my favourite bread during soup season.
