Notes
- Feel free to add some cooked bacon bits as garnish if you like. Or you can even use some shredded Chicken
- Use a waxy potato, like Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- You don't have to peel the potatoes.
- If your corn is not as sweet as you'd like, add a dash of honey to the chowder.
- If your corn is super sweet, you can add a little more salt to balance the sweetness.
- Add in some sliced jalapenos for a spicy kick!
- Top with some cheddar cheese for a lovely, cheesy twist.
