My family loves this! My middle son Ryan is the "picky eater" and he asks for me to make this. I serve this with corn bread. I was asked by Penzeys' Spices to share a recipe or two. This was one of the three that they featured in their September Spice Catalog. What an honor!!

How To Make hearty corn chowder

Step 1

Saute the onion, celery and garlic in the butter until clear. Add water & broth. Add potatoes, carrots and yams.

Step 2

Simmer 15-20 minutes. You may add more broth and soup base for added flavor. Add all ingredients and let cook through until potatoes are cooked and the soup is hot.
Step 3

If the soup is too thin, take 3 tbsp. of sotened butter and two tbsp. of flour. Make a paste and add to the soup mixtures, stirring as adding. It will thicken.
Step 4

We like it thick so oftentimes I add frozen mixed vegetables as well, maybe 1 cup. You may salt and pepper to taste. I add Mrs. Dash occasionally to add more flavor as needed. Soup is not a science, a lot of "dump and pour, little of this and that" methods. Add seasonings and thickeners as you wish.
Step 5

The red skins and red yams add lovely color, flavor and body to the soup. Serve with hot corn bread and a salad.
