One of the things I love about soup is that it’s perfect for lunch or dinner. . .any time of the year. When I need something quick, easy and delicious, I often turn to this 10 Minute Corn Chowder. It’s sweet, comforting and always hits the spot.

I don’t know if this happens to you or not, but very often, lunch (even dinner, sometimes) sneaks up on me and I have nothing prepared! I get busy with work, and all of the sudden, my stomach starts growling, I look at the clock and I begin to panic a little. That’s when I think of this Corn Chowder.

You can throw this together with items you already have in your refrigerator or pantry. That’s MY kind of recipe. I’m assuming you’re probably okay with that, too, right? 😉 I’m also assuming you’re here because I said – 10 MINUTES. Well, good, because it’s true. It really only does take 10 minutes to prep this soup and get it on the stove top. It starts with sautéing some garlic and onions.

Then mixing together some milk, flour, mustard, seasonings. . .

adding the corn. . .and letting it simmer for a bit so the flavors have a chance to meld, and the chowder takes on a beautiful golden hue.

That’s when I know it’s time to eat. I often remove the skillet from the heat and allow the soup to thicken up even more. Chowder should “stick” to your spoon. You know what I’m talkin’ about?

If you find yourself short on time but wanting a comforting, satisfying dish, grab for this corn chowder recipe. I promise it won’t let you down. 😉
