This easy New-England style chowder lets red-skinned potatoes shine. Cream-style corn is a suprise ingredient that adds a little sweetness and contributes to the creamy texture. Taken from Cooking Light 2004.

Made this recipe for the first time last night. Found it while browsing through my old Cooking Light recipes. It's a delightful change from the same old clam chowder.


The freshly grated nutmeg would be excellent. I must try this!


Made a double batch today. Recipe holds well. Finally a picture.

Used corn on the cob from the freezer for this batch. Just barely cut the tips off the corn kernels and milk the cob with the back of the knife to make creamy style corn.


Sounds great! Saving to try.


Yummy
