Corn Chowder Soup Recipe Healthy, Light & Delicious
Corn Chowder Soup Recipe – This is a lighter corn chowder. It has potatoes, fresh corn, carrots, peppers, spices, and broth. It can be made vegetarian and is delicious.
Do you want to cook corn chowder soup but a healthier version? Get ready to make soup because I adapted a recipe to create a new freshly made healthy soup that turned out yummy. It is lighter than the traditional corn chowder.
Enjoy this soup on a cool fall or winter day or night. It is still delightful. It’s healthy and filling but, if you like you can serve it with biscuits or keep it light with a salad.
But if you are looking for a different recipe for corn chowder you might like this Potato Corn Chowder.

We got delicious peppers from the farmers’ market. There were poblanos, jalapenos, yellow peppers, and red peppers… The vegetables were locally grown and fresh making it the perfect time to make soup.
But, if you don’t have them in your area or don’t want the little spicy kick omit the peppers.
I love making big batches of soup on fall days. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner. What’s not to love about? And heating leftovers for lunch the next day. Hello, delicious warm soup. It doesn’t last long when I make a pot.
Recipe Notes For Making Corn Chowder
- In this recipe for corn chowder, I used fresh garlic, onion, red bell pepper, one poblano pepper, and a sweet jalapeno.
- Take four fresh corn on the cobs peeled, cleaned, and then cut the corn off the cob for the soup.
- Then wash and cut about 8 small and medium-sized white potatoes for the soup.
- Note: I used chicken stock. If you want to make it vegetarian substitute the chicken broth with vegetarian vegetable broth.
I hope you enjoy making this soup or the original recipe too, which is more of a traditional corn chowder.
