I love corn chowder, but sometimes I just want a quick bowl of it and don’t want to hit the pantry for a chemical-filled canned version. Make this head of time and you can freeze it in single portions or as family sized batch. Either way, the spiciness of this corn chowder is a pleasant spicy surprise.
You can also make this vegetarian by swapping out the chicken broth for vegetable broth – both versions taste great!
