Today is a cold and rainy day, and when I asked Kaden what I should cook for dinner he told me "My favorite corn soup mom!" It doesn't take much to convince me to make this soup! It is "souper" easy and the most amazing corn chowder I have ever had. I can take no credit for this recipe because it is a dear friend Mary Beth Huff's recipe.I have never eaten anything that she has cooked that is NOT amazing, but this is one of our family favorites! I remember the first time she brought us some. Keith, Kaden and I were visiting Mom and Dad in Texas, right before we moved to Alaska. We were all kind of under the weather and Mary Beth brought some soup over to make us feel better. I must say this soup healed us all! We ate it and there was NONE left. It was so delicious!! WOW! It is almost a weekly dish made here at our house in Alaska. Kaden who says he hates to eat corn will eat 2 bowls of this soup! I just made it tonight and he did ask for seconds! Thanks for sharing this recipe Mary Beth!! We love it and we love you too!!! Everybody should try this yummy soup! You won't be sorry, I promise!
