    A dear friend and neighbor passed this recipe onto me and I just finished making it. OMGOODNESS !!!
    This recipe is so scrumptious and easy to make. I doubled it so there should be plenty to share with my grown sons and their family. Thank you Jennifer for passing on the recipe and thank you Katherine for your recipe to begin with. A perfect soup for our Pacific Northwest climate.

  • Jenn says:

    Loved this! I used bone broth (chicken) and whole milk. It was delicious and going into a regular rotation for us. Thank you!

  • JJJ says:

    Hi would well-drained canned corn add too much extra moisture and “break the sauce,” especially if using a soy or nut milk substitute?
