    I am so excited that Thanksgiving is around the corner. Time flies by so quickly, even though it can be harder to tell here in the Bay Area. We don't get all of the beautiful vivid fall foliage here, but the cooler days are a sure sign!

    Today you are in for a special treat because I am sharing my grandmother's secret Corn Chowder with Creamed Corn recipe. In the old days, she made her corn chowder from canned cream of corn.

    I love taking my Grandma's old recipes and creating gluten free versions. Gluten free corn chowder is a thick and creamy homemade soup that is sure to please!

    I am not sure if it was the convenience or if that is just what she just had on-hand...but I will always remember this soup as our family's' comfort food. Del Monte® Fresh Cut Golden Sweet Corn Cream Style helps me bring her recipe to life.

    I did jazz up her recipe a little bit because if you have been following my blog for a little while, you know I love spice.

    Do you have a family recipe that brings back memories? This soup does it every time for me. When making this soup, quality matters. I love to use Del Monte Fresh Cut Golden Sweet Corn Cream Style. It ensures perfect soup every time.

    The corn is picked at the peak of freshness. Del Monte grows with family farms; many of these farms have grown for Del Monte for generations, and they preserve the wholesome goodness you’d expect from your own backyard garden.

    This year, we are serving grandma's corn chowder as the first course at our Thanksgiving dinner. What better way to remember her than through her recipes? This canned corn chowder recipe is so easy and convenient to make.

    Instructions:

    cooking leeks in a pan with oil and garlic

    The first step is to sauté the leeks and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. cook for 3 minutes until the leeks are softened.

    corn chowder ingredients in a soup pot

    Add the corn chowder ingredients into a soup pot. Stir in the leeks and garlic. Stir to mix it all together and bring to a boil.

    Once the soup is boiling, turn the heat down to low, add the cheese, and simmer. Serve hot with sour cream and crumbled bacon garnish.

    Garnish ideas:

    Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, and fresh chopped cilantro. You can also garnish with:

    • Jalapeños
    • Cheddar Cheese
    • Tomatoes 
    • Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

    Can you make this dairy-free?

    You can definitely make this corn chowder dairy-free. You can use dairy-free cheese, or omit the cheese altogether.

    Can you make this recipe with fresh corn?

    You can definitely make this corn chowder with fresh corn, but it will take a lot longer to make.

    Can you omit the green chiles?

    If you don't like spice, you can easily reduce the number of green chiles, or omit them altogether.

      I made this last November and followed the recipe to a T, had a perfect Creamy Corn Chowder that night for dinner. My husband requested it the other day and I had to hunt the recipe down again. This time I saved it.
