Potato and Corn Chowder

When I saw this recipe, I knew that it would be a great one for our “Seniors Salute”. My dad will love this one! It reminds me of watching him eat chowder at a favorite seafood restaurant in Portland, Maine this past summer. Make some for the senior in your life.

Debbie’s Comments:
I hope that you enjoy this hearty soup. It is low in fat and extremely easy to fix. I love to serve this with fresh baked bread and a tossed salad with raspberry balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!

Nanci’s Comments:
I used my food processor to puree the soup by spooning out the corn and potatoes with a slotted spoon and leaving the broth/liquid in the soup pot.
