This easy corn and potato chowder recipe is a nice update of Mexican Corn Chowder. So easy and so good and this version is made with Mexicorn for a fun and colorful chowder!
Greetings! We have had a heatwave in California this week. It was 80 degrees here last week. It is usually sunny here, but not typically this hot. But it will undoubtedly cool down soon.
Did you have a sunny Christmas or a cold Christmas? One day I hope to be where it is snowing on Christmas. It's on my list of things to do someday.
Then I can make a nice hot meal. Like this fun Mexi-Corn Chowder which is a fun twist to the standard Corn Chowder. I like to add a little chili powder to spice it up, but it is not a spicy soup as is, just colorful. Great for a cold evening or for game day.

MexiCorn Chowder

- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
- 2 cups milk
- 1 11 oz. can mexicorn or tri-color corn

Instructions
- In a large pot, add 5 cups water, bouillon, chopped potatoes, onion, and celery. Cook over medium heat until water starts to boil. Cover and cook on low heat about 25 minutes, or until potatoes are thoroughly cooked.
Add milk, mexi-corn, salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Note: If you cannot find Mexi-corn, canned sweet corn works great too!
Simmer for 10 -15 minutes and serve. This is when I add hot sauce/chili powder, according to taste.
