Potato Corn Chowder

A cozy, comforting and hearty potato chowder loaded with roasted corn and leeks!

Ever since Jason began his new semester at school, we promised ourselves that we I would cook every day of the week with the exception of Friday nights. We decided on this to get in the habit of eating healthier and to save money from a $35 check every time we ate out.

From pastas to fried rice, I’ve been making just enough to feed us for dinner and have leftovers for lunch the next day. But with the weather cooling down, I wanted to make something really warm and comforting, like this chowder here.

Loaded with buttery Klondike rose potatoes, roasted corn, leeks, bell peppers and Emeril’s Creole seasoning, this creamy chowder is a bowl full of comfort with a spicy kick. It’s an incredibly hearty soup, and with the many health benefits of potatoes, this soup will not only keep you warm but it is moderate in calories and will keep you full longer!

So to help spread the word on promoting the benefits of healthful eating, I’ve teamed up with Klondike Brands® Potatoes in their Pile on the Produce campaign. And to celebrate, we’re be offering four lucky Damn Delicious readers a Klondike Brands Prize Pack so you can create your own healthy potato goodness!
