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 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.

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.
