Notes

Cook's tip: If you'd like to add meat, stir in a handful of shredded Woolworths Country Style Roast Chicken in step 3.

Hot lunch idea: Cook double the amount of this recipe and freeze the leftover soup in portions, then thaw, reheat and transport in a thermos for a hot school or work lunch.

I made corn chowder last weekend. It didn't turned out well based on the recipe. The only difference is the brand of corn maybe but it was just too watery that we have to have to put corn flour to thicken it. Lesson learned, buy the ingredients more than what was indicated in the recipe (even if maybe the shops will overuse the barcode scanner). It might be needed all of a sudden.

Mcj, said it taste "okay" so it made me feel a bit good about it.
