If you’re looking for the perfect, veggie-loaded soup to get you through the Spring and Summer, look no further! This Zucchini Corn Chowder is loaded with fresh, sweet corn, garden zucchini and the perfect amount of red potatoes in every spoonful. It is delightfully sweet from the corn, with a kick of heat from a little cayenne pepper. You’ll want a chunk of bread to dunk into this crave-worthy chowder!
Not only is this chowder oh-so scrumptious, but you can whip it together without a fuss! It is vegetarian-friendly, but could easily have some bacon or ham added to it to add a little somethin’-somethin’ for the meat-lovers out there. Even if it’s a hot summer day, you will be surprised by how satisfying this chowder is!
Ladle this soup into a bowl, grab some crunchy bread and you will have an empty bowl in front of you before you know it! A little parmesan cheese never hurt anyone, either :). Even though this chowder is packed full of fresh Summer and Spring flavors, it could easily be made all year round. I certainly wouldn’t have a problem with it!
