Summer is in full swing and the produce is fresh and sweet! Nothing says Summer like beautiful sweet corn, just harvested, so tasty. Growing up we would eat corn on the cob by the bag full! We made anything and everything with corn. I am so excited to be creating my own recipes now with my family. I told my husband I have a soup idea and every ingredient I wanted in it, then made it right away. This creamy potato, chicken, corn chowder is impressively delicious and healthy! Toss some asparagus tips in there, top with bacon and fresh parmesan…. let the fireworks begin!
