It's been a string of gray days in my neck of the woods.  You know, those curl-up-on-the-couch-with-a-big-cozy-blanket kind of days.  And I don't much care for gray, curl-up-on-the-couch kind of days.

But there is something that makes these kind of days at least a little bit better. -- Homemade soup.

A big pot of a nice, hearty, belly-warming kind of soup.  Like this creamy Chicken Corn Chowder.

I just adore chowders, whether it be this Chicken Corn Chowder, our slow cooker clam chowder, slow cooker ham & corn chowder, or my very favorite kielbasa potato soup.  With my New England roots, that's no shocker, right?

But just exactly what makes a soup a chowder?

Specifically, a chowder is a thick, rich, chunky soup generally made with a cream base.  Chowders got their start as primarily seafood soups, typically including fish, clams, or a mix of treats from the sea.

But the primary ingredient in chowders now include a much wider array of vegetables and meats, like ham, potato, corn, and sweet potato chowder, to name a few.

And let me just say, it's that thick, creamy goodness chowders are known for that I love so much.  The thicker the better for my chowder!

One thing I really love about this particular Chicken Corn Chowder is it gets a lot of its thick creaminess from cream-style corn instead of tons of cream and thickener.  While that doesn't take out all the fat and calories, it at least helps take it down a little bit from a traditional chowder.

The cream corn also adds a really nice touch of sweetness to the base of the chowder.

Then throw a little bit of wine into the mix, and Chicken Corn Chowder gets even better.  Oh, wine makes everything better when you're cooking. -- Who's with me??

So, if it's a gray winter day for you, whip up a big pot of steamy, creamy, comforting Chicken Corn Chowder.  It just may help chase the gray away.

But with its fabulous flavor and how easy it is to make, remember this tasty chowder is perfect for enjoying any time of year!

  5. Yum. Do you think I would ruin it if I subbed the wine for chicken broth? Tiffany

    1. Tiffany - I think you can take out the wine and use extra chicken broth just fine. The wine adds a nice little zip to the flavor ... but I think all will still be well without it.
      Enjoy!

  6. What a lovely soup! I recently made a spicy crab & corn chowder and it was delicious. However, crab meat is quite expensive; chicken is much more economical. I will be trying this one day. Pinned for future reference.

    I will be featuring this on my blog at tomorrow's Marvelous Mondays party. Thanks for sharing! :)
