Bacon Cheddar Corn Chowder
Updated: Mar 28, 2020
With the end of prime "soup season" in sight, I find myself making as many of these amazing soups as I can. This delicious, satisfying chowder is easy to make, and a new family favourite.
I used President's Choice frozen Corn and Jalapeno vegetables for this chowder. You could use regular frozen corn, however the jalapeno adds flavour and not a lot of heat.
Don't have cheddar cheese? Use what you have in the fridge.
