Corn & Chicken Chowder

Picture of square container with chowder in it and topped with oyster crackers.

This corn and chicken chowder comes together in 30 minutes or less for a warm, hearty meal! It's so quick to make because it utilizes home-canned corn, chicken, and broth! It's one of my husband's favorite meals on a cold day.

Missing a Home-canned Ingredient?

If you don't have home-canned corn, chicken, or broth, feel free to substitute with store-bought! Corn is such a heavy feeder, I just can't keep up with it, so I almost exclusively buy store-bought cans of corn.
