Corn Chowder
Corn Chowder
Bought some fresh, young corn from farmers market a few days ago. I blanched some of them and cut the kernels down to freeze. Today’s corn chowder was made from those home frozen corn. They are so fresh and sweet. With the help of Vitamix, the soup was thickened just right.
