Corn Chowder Soup Recipe

Reviewed on Mar. 21, 2013 by horsepal

I don't care for corn but my husband wanted some corn chowder and I can't stand to buy the store bought so I searched out a healthy simple corn chowder recipe and came upon this one. He loved it and the biggest surprise is so did I, the person who hates cooked corn. I made it with fresh corn and it's gratifying to know all the ingredients going into our food are the best quality we can get.

Not good at all. Tastes like potpourri soup. Did not like the seasoning and it needs milk or cream"

My husband eats anything, and after 3 bites he pushed his bowl away and wouldn't eat anymore. This was not a favorite at my house--not even for me. It had a weird taste and the texture was off...perhaps I did something wrong in the cooking process, though. Sorry :(

Easy and good! The recipe is perfectly clear about the 4 cups of corn + 2 cups of broth & then adding the rest after you process it in the blender. (I used an immersion blender, worked great). If you want it chunkier, then don't process it so much. I love it because it is a healthier version of corn chowder, without all the potatoes & dairy.

This chowder is amazing. The favors are so good together. I sauteed my onions in a pat of butter and added heavy whipping cream at the end just to make it a little more creamy. Delicious and easy.

It tasted like mush corn.

The ease of preparation, and deliciousness of chowder makes it a true winner, and one that I'll definitely be repeating especially during the upcoming cold months. I'm going to have to ignore any less than positive reviews, and just rationalize it by saying that some people just have different tastes. But for this family's tastes, this recipe was spot on. Thank you Nancy, we truly enjoyed this!

Chowder, by its definition, incorporates milk or cream. No milk or cream, can't call it chowder. I call this corn soup. Blah. Yuck.

I was craving corn chowder and found this recipe. Which was great, because I am on a dairy free diet for a week as my doctor thinks I may have a dairy allergy. So thanks for the recipe, it was great! And I will be making this again. Especially, if I have to go dairy free.

I thought the taste was flat. I don't care for Rosemary on anything. It reminds me of the a pine tree and I don't like the flavor it gives off. But I don't think just leaving that out would have afffected the chowder taste that much. I have a recipe I use that calls for a diced carrot, a celery stalk, 3 cloves of garlic minced, three med potatoes cut into 1/2 " cubes, two cups non-fat milk, three slices of lean bacon cut up and fried crisp and then crumbled, and a half cup of instant potatoes for thickening as well as the other items listed in this recipe. I also make Green onion and cheddar and jalapeno Corm Muffins to serve with it. I realize this recipe is supposed to be light, but I like comfort food on autum and winter days. There are also times in which i will add minced lean smoked ham to the chowder.

Absolutely delicious, with less rosemary. Corn is my #1 favorite vegetable. However, the nutrition facts state 0 gms of fiber...how can this be so with all that corn, not to mention onion & pepper?

doesn't chowder imply that potatoes are included?

If you read the directions carefully, you will see that 4 cups of corn get blended and the reaming 2 cups get added at end for texture.

6 cups fresh or frozen corn, divided

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

The directions are very clear:

Add 4 cups corn; cook and stir until corn is softened, about 5 minutes. 

Add 2 cups broth; bring to a boil

Add the ... remaining corn and broth

The recipe isn't clear about how much corn & chicken broth should be divided. I'm sure I can figure it out but seems to me the instructions in a recipe should be clear.

Very easy and delicious!! The reserved corn is added with the red peppers, broth and the spices.

to rratjn: it says you add those 2 cups in with the red pepper, etc.

I used turkey kilbasa with the (sweet) onions sauted them w/a lil oilve oil until tender. I used fresh cracked pepper no thyme and only a dash of rosemary, I also added 1 can of cream style corn, My family luv'd it w/ moist warm cornbread. It's a fall/winter wonder.

What's the point of putting everything in the blender? The picture shows the ingredients that certainly don't look as if they've been in a blender! I like it chunky anyway with bacon too!

I loved it. Kids hated it. Next time I try it I'm going to add potatoes, and use a bit less rosemary and thyme (which is what the kids didn't like about it). Overall, loved it - so easy and fast to make. :)

This was my first attempt at Corn Chowder and it couldn't have been easier or more delicious. I've shared with many friends too!

Very good recipe. I made a slight change by frying 4 strips of bacon & using the bacon grease to saute the onion - then crumbled the bacon for a garnish.
