I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. I have changed it a little to suit our tastes. It’s so quick and easy.

Helpful hints:
This recipe is very adaptable to what ingredients I have on hand. If I have fresh corn then I use it. If I have cream, then I use it. I have even left the salmon out and just made a potato corn chowder and it was amazing.
