There are two words to describe this summer….HOT and HUMID! In New Jersey, it’s not uncommon for the heat and humidity to pair up. This summer, however, was abnormally hot, humid and dry. I was seriously getting tired of sweating.
Enough already. Now that the warm summer is behind us (thankfully), I am all about fall and comfort food. I am celebrating with one of my favorite soups everrrr…..Chicken Corn Chowder.
Chowd-da is serious business. It’s thick, it’s hearty and it’s packed with lots of deliciousness like chicken, fresh corn, potatoes and bacon. Remember what I said about bacon! Everything is better with bacon.
Tradition in the Russo household calls for a bowl of this Chicken Corn Chowder every time it snows. Not that I want it to turn that cold that quick, but it’s not a snowstorm without a nice hot bowl of this chow-da.

How To Make Chicken Corn Chowder
This soup packs a nice punch when it comes to vegetables too. Luckily, I freeze a hefty amount of corn we grow to use in recipes like this one. You can also use fresh corn as well. I added a nice amount. While I am not sad to see the summer heat go, I do get sad when our Jersey Fresh vegetables are finished for the season.
This soup has a slight zip to it. I added some jalapeno peppers to the mix. But like anything else, you can certainly leave them out for a more traditional taste. Or, you can add more or less depending on how much zip you like. Easy peasy!
