Hearty Corn Chowder
Ironically, the most often requested foods in my home are the least fancy. The nice thing about that is they usually take little time to prepare. The bad thing about that is it usually isn’t very picturesque… Honestly though, this chowder always makes it on the list of my children’s favorite foods. That must be saying something! I hope you and your loved ones will enjoy this soup as much as we do.
*Update: (5/9/19) My 10-year-old daughter made this soup 100% alone and it tasted amazing. Just a humble brag. That’s all.

Notes
I have made this with plain, unsweetened almond milk before, and it was not bad! I have also used 2% and whole milk and it was great. The creamiest and tastiest way is using half and half.
