This delicious and creamy vegetable chowder recipe is easy to make and loaded with potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. It’s a hearty soup you’ll love.
During January, I’m always making soups and chowder recipes. It’s the perfect meal for the colder months, of course, and the boys love warming up with a nice bowl of soup during the week after a long day at school. I love to serve soups and chowder because of the convenience. I can toss in all the ingredients and then let them simmer on the stove top while I do other things around the house.
And, since I make sure to make a huge pot, I love that there’s plenty left for us to serve up the next day. This vegetable chowder recipe is one of my favorites. It’s creamy and delicious, and I love that it’s loaded with fresh vegetables, like mushrooms, potatoes, and corn. The mushrooms give it an earthy flavor and the corn sweetens it up a bit. To me, it’s just the right blend of vegetables. I like to serve mine with warm biscuits or cornbread to sop up all that goodness, too.
