45 Reviews of Corn Chowder

Surprise! Another 5-star review for the Mean Chef! This was great- I have to admit, I was naughty and substituted frozen corn for the fresh, but I had a big ole' bag of it in the freezer and made this recipe because I was looking to use it up. I also used unpeeled russet potatoes rather than yukon gold because that's what I had on hand. I also used dried thyme and curry powder instead of tumeric. BUT regardless of all my substitutions- this was still fantastic. I think that next time I will make the effort to make it with fresh corn, though. My boyfriend and I loved this. I found that I did not need the cornstarch mixture and I also used half-and-half (the grocery was out of cream for some reason). Yum yum yum yum, as always. I am craving some more, but it's already gone!! Thank you again, Mean Chef! (I also used your Brown Chicken Stock #56806 as the chicken stock.)

Excellent, we only had canned corn on hand to use, so if this recipe was good with yucky canned corn it has to be 10 stars with fresh or frozen! I didn't have cream so I substituted evaporated milk. When I served it I placed a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese on the table so if anyone wanted they could sprinkle a little on their hot chowder. It really added to the flavor.

DH and I loved this! I did make a few changes to lighten it up a bit... frozen corn, no bacon, olive oil instead of butter, dried thyme instead of fresh, no cumin (DH personal preference), added a couple diced sweet potatoes, and skim milk in place of cream. What a great way to get those veggies in! Loved the color, loved the flavors... I will definitely be making this many times this winter. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

Delicious. I used frozen corn (this is winter), and didn't have either turmeric or cumin so I used a little curry powder. Easy to make. A definite keeper.

A great tasting soup. I made a few changes and it still turned out gr8. I was so sure I had tined corn in the cupboard it turned out I only had cream style corn, so I used it. we dont consume bacon so i left it out. Lastly I didnt have any chives so I added fresh corriander. I will be making this recipe often in winter and stick to my changes.

Great recipe! Here were my changes: no bacon, veggie stock in place of chicken stock, half and half in place of cream, frozen corn instead of fresh. It came out great anyway!! I think it would have been too rich for us with the cream. I will definately make this again!! Thank you!

Wonderful!!! My picky toddler ate this right up.I made a few changes because I am trying to lose weight- but it was still excellent. I used one can of fat free evaporated milk instead of the cream,and used half olive oil in place of the 2 tbsps butter. I didn't have any turmeric or thyme so I left them out, but I added a full teaspoon cumin because I love it. This recipe lends itself well to personalization and is just excellent!

Added 4 green onions for colour and flavour. EXCELLENT. Used 4 ears, and this makes about 4 quarts. If you don't have cream, try sour cream. Added a little tang and body.

Delicious. I don't or didn't like corn chowder but DH loves it. I used frozen creamed corn. It was fairly tough due to the drought here but a delicious flavor. Decided this would be a way to use some of it up. I expect I will be using most of it this way. A wonderful meal. Gloria

Excellent recipe and very deserving of the 5 stars. For #12, I used my hand held blender and pureed about 1/3 of the mixture which gave some thickness to the soup allowing me to not having to add the cornstarch as it was thick enough (I may have had a few more vegetables) I added 1% milk in place of the cream and some fresh dill. Good instructions. Excellent and I look forward to making this again soon
