Creamy sweet corn chowder loaded with potatoes, corn, bacon, and so much flavor. Ultimate comfort food.
Fresh sweet corn is one of my favorite things about summer. This Sweet Summer Corn Chowder does not disappoint! This fast and tasty soup can be on your table in 30 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner.
This is one of the best soups, with so much flavor. I like to throw in a couple of naked corn cob to marinate in the chowder for added flavor. Corn is definitely the star of this soup. You can also check out my Loaded Potato Soup it is also a huge family favorite.
So when corn is the cheapest during the summer make sure you stalk up and make a big pot of this chowder. Plus it freezes perfectly. I buy these containers from Amazon to freeze soups in, they are perfect.
