Nothing can compare to homemade soup, especially when this is the delicious result! Winter days seem a little warmer when I prepare this savory chowder. —Dulyse Molnar, Oswego, New York

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 12 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the potatoes, water, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
