My review
Depression Era Corn Chowder
MAINEGUY1979
"This is the recipe my grandmother used when she was growing up during the great depression. 70 years later, it's still a delicious, satisfying form of comfort food. Serve immediately with saltine crackers. Tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator over night. In my grandmother's day, they would have 'refrigerated' it on the back porch overnight!"

Since so many people said it was watery, I used one can of chicken broth and one can of cream of chicken soup instead of two cans of chicken broth. That worked fine.

Quick, easy, delicious! This is just like the old-fashioned corn chowder I grew up with. The ingredients are dirt cheap and it makes a pretty big batch. I love it.
