chicken corn chowder
The first time I made this recipe was for a camping trip I took with a friend in upstate new york at the end of October. we were so unprepared for how cold it would get that night (all of my camping supplies were very summery/from amazon) but this corn chowder kept us warm! along with a million of those handwarmer things lol!
Note: you can also make this in a pressure cooker! I believe I let it cook for 15-20 minutes on high.
