Chipotle Corn Chowder

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

The sweet, locally-grown Ohio corn is finally coming in, and this soup is so delicious. If you don’t like spicy soup, you can leave out Chipotle Corn Chowder Collage the chipotle chili spice altogether and it’s still very good. 

It’s best made with fresh sweet corn, but good frozen corn still makes a wonderful soup. I like to make big batches of it in the summer as the corn is ripening and freeze it, it’s so good in the middle of the winter too.

Plus, right now when sweet corn seems to be everywhere, it’s also inexpensive, so this is the time to make corn chowder!

    When you say stock pot, do you mean the aluminum ones that come in different sizes, or do you mean something heavier?
    Thank you for the recipe!

      Hi Linda, This recipe makes quite a bit, so what I’m using is my aluminum one that is coated in ceramic. That’s the biggest pot I have.

        Oh, I didn’t know the aluminum ones came in ceramic. I have a ceramic cast iron pan. I have a fairly large aluminum pan that we use to boil shrimp or crawfish. I might try that. Or cut the recipe in half. Thank you!
