We lived in Central Pennsylvania for 20 plus years. While living there I discovered chicken corn chowder; not something I was very familiar with growing up in Europe, Hawaii and the Midwest (yes the Midwest – that’s another story). While living in PA, this hearty flavorful soup became a family staple for us. We moved to Florida 10 years ago and I totally forgot about how much we loved Chicken Corn Chowder. So I pulled out one of my old recipe cards – can’t believe we used to write this stull down on little cards and save them in cherished little boxes but so glad I did!
I didn’t follow the recipe on my old recipe card exactly as I added a few new ingredients because I used what I had on hand.
