Corn chowder

Corn chowder is a yummy soup made with corn, which is a yellow vegetable that grows on tall plants in fields.

To make corn chowder, first grown-ups usually chop up some onions and cook them in a big pot with some butter. Onions are kind of like tiny white or purple balls that make the soup taste really good.

Next, they add some cream or milk to the pot. Cream is a yummy thick liquid that comes from cows, and milk is a thinner liquid that also comes from cows. They stir it all up so it gets nice and warm and creamy.

Then, they add the most important part: corn! The corn is usually cut off of the cob and mixed with the other ingredients. Sometimes, grown-ups add other yummy stuff like pieces of bacon or potatoes to make the soup even tastier.

Finally, once everything is cooked and mixed together, the grown-ups spoon the soup into bowls, and everyone gets to eat it! It's super yummy, especially on a cold day when you want something warm and cozy to eat.
