A Sweet Corn Chowder Recipe

Running around all day in the rain today made coming back to a pipping hot bowl of homemade chowder all the more comforting. Keep reading for this easy to whip up recipe, perfect to sharing, for a sweet corn chowder with a (slightly less fattening) twist:

THE RECIPE >

If you have a crock pot then you're really golden because this recipe is perfect for that. Toss all the ingredients in except the coconut milk, set it and forget it until you walk through the door. This can be easily whipped up for surprise guests if you crack open a can of sweet corn and simmer for 12 minutes. The oyster crackers (which do not actually contain any shellfish) I'm using here are by the very old New England brand Westminster Bakeries (find them over here on Amazon although they're less pricey in store if you can find them). An almost hard tack, plump cracker that when allowed to cook in soup, turns into mini dumplings. The hint of chili is extra warming.
