"EVERYONE in my wife's family is a corn lover, so her mom came up with this wonderful recipe to satisfy their appetites. With the bacon, sausage and potatoes, it's hearty enough to be a one-pot meal, but it's also really good with the chicken."

I made this recipe, this morning for lunch on a hot summer day! I love anything with corn in it and this chowder is out of this world! I love it, I can't wait til my husband try's it! I added 1/2 cup more water to make it a little more soupy but still a great hearty texture! Thanks taste of home for this wonderful recipe!

LOVE IT! I did modify it a bit, I added jalapeno diced, a pinch of cayenne and then at the end I added some pulled chicken breast, instead of sausage - meal in a pot!

Terrific recipe! This was very easy and tasty. My kids ate it up. I did add a dash of cracked pepper just prior to serving.

I loved this recipe. My family loves this recipe. In one weeks time, I made this twice. I highly recommend this soup. It is easy to make, i had most of the items in my pantry already and it was very hearty and filling.
