Who says you can’t have soup in the summer? And why wouldn’t you, when you have all the fresh and amazing produce around. Summer Chicken Corn Chowder is not a thick and podgy soup. You don’t want that for the summer time even when making a chowder. So I “lighten” it up with less cream and more vegetable stock. Even using a vegetable stock as opposed to chicken or beef lightens it up for me.
You can use great fresh corn for this soup. Just cook it beforehand, you can, roast, grill, boil, steam, any way you would like.
Chocked full of fresh vegetables, chicken and little bits of yummy bacon, you will want to eat this soup at anytime of the year!!

Do I need 60oz total of Veg broth or 2 60oz containers? Thank you!
Noshing with the Nolands says
60 oz equals 1800 ml. So you just need a 60 oz. container if you can find one that large or two 30 oz. containers.
