corn chowder

Creamy maize bisque

Corn chowder is a thick, creamy soup featuring corn as its primary ingredient, typically combined with potatoes, onions, and often bacon or salt pork.

Like other chowders, it has a milk or cream base that distinguishes it from broth-based soups: We had warm corn chowder on a cold October evening.
