Now I love corn. And, I love soups with corn. In fact it doesn’t have to be just a vegetables soup with corn, but other soups that you’d maybe not think of adding corn.

German communities in Pennsylvania settled long ago came to be known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. Like Amish communities, the Pennsylvania Dutch have been known for their delicious recipes including the Dutch oven corn chowder. 

Today’s Dutch oven pots are perfect for making any kind of soup, stew, roast and more. They can be used both on the stove top and in the oven like a baking dish. Since they’re large and roomy, they’re perfect for big meals and one-pot preparation. 

Creamed Corn Soup

One of the best things about being a foodie and blogger is the number of talented and generous other foodies you meet via social media.  Many of my friends, whom I’ve never met in person but feel like I know as well as real ‘brick and mortar’ friends, have written cookbooks.  This recipe is from one of my foodie friends, Warren Caterson, who’s created ‘Table for Two’ .

The cookbook is full of a cornucopia of easy and simple, yet elegant and delicious, recipes. And, since I was hankering for a creamed corn soup, I landed on page 25 and found this recipe!
