When the weather starts to get a little cooler, I crave certain food more than others. Soup is the perfect example as I'm sure you can all relate.

Sure, I'll eat it year round, but there is nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold day to warm your insides.

I had gotten a bunch of fresh corn on the cob recently and froze most of it to enjoy after the season. I wanted to make something with it besides serving it as a side dish and realized I had never shared Corn Chowder here on the blog so now was as good of a time as any.

As I was thinking about the word "chowder" I also realized that I should probably explain the difference between different types of soup so you know what I'm talking about.

Types of Soup

Bisque-Thick soup that is smooth and creamy; usually pureed shell fish.

Chowder-Usually a thick, chunky soup.

Consommé-Broth that has been simmered for a long time; then clarified to remove any impurities.

Cream-A soup that is thickened with a white sauce (bechamel).

Gumbo- A strong stock usually made from meat or fish with vegetables that is thickened.

Stew-Contains solid ingredients cooked in liquid; then served in its own gravy.

Puree-Any food that has been mashed, pressed and strained.

Corn Chowder made with fresh corn on the cob and chunks of potatoes in a creamy broth is delicious and satisfying. 

So by definition, my Corn Chowder had to be thick and chock full of goodness like fresh corn on the cob, red bliss potatoes, celery and onions. I can tell you, it was fantastic; well at least I thought so!

I used regular milk, flour and butter to thicken mine; however, you can use heavy cream or half & half if you would like for that extra creaminess. ~Enjoy!

    I'll be using frozen corn (we had no cob leftovers 🙂 ). Should I defrost the corn prior to adding, or keep it frozen? I don't want it to get too mushy!

      No you can keep it frozen. It will defrost quickly once added to the hot soup mixture and won't turn soggy. Enjoy!
