   I saw this and I went to the store.I've never had it before but it sounded good. Just added the half and half and it already tastes yummy! Pinned this one to my tried and true board. Also known as "will make again" board. Thanks for the recipe!

   mmm this sounds so good! love that it's vegetarian, too - no bacon, no meat, just veggies and it looks so creamy!

   One bite and all I could say was WOW! We made it with skim milk instead of half and half, to make it a little healthier, and it was so yummy. Will defiantly be making this one again.

7. Mel says:

   Do you need to reduce the heat to low when you simmer?

   I would reduce it to low or med-low. Just be sure there is no scorching on the bottom. Stirring occasionally. :)

   This was d-e-licious! Doubled the recipe to serve a group of 9 hungry college kids, served with biscuits and called it a meal. I did offer shredded cheese, crumbled bacon and scallions as toppers...I think next go around (and there will be one) I might try a few carrot shreds with the celery, just for color. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

    It's look like very delicious. I'll want to try it. But I have a problem. What is "can cream corn"? We haven't it in my country. Can I refund it? Thanks :)

11. Cyd says:

    You could use a regular can of corn and mush it up a little and that would work fine.

12. Bunky says:

    Thank you. I'm thrilled to have this recipe!I was wondering, if I freeze Mimi's Corn Chowder in smaller portions will the chowder lose some of the flavor or will the consistency be altered upon reheating? I called Mimi's Cafe. The wonderful server stated no change in flavor or consistency if reheated in the microwave, stirring every 2 minutes.

13. Mara says:

    Can you use chicken broth instead of water?

14. Cyd says:

    You could definitely use chicken broth to replace the water.

15. Jennifer petersen says:

    Can I put all the Ingredients in the crockpot and let it cook all day

16. Cyd says:

    There are a few necessary steps in this recipe that couldn't be done in a slow cooker. So I would stick to the recipe as directed. The good part is that is all comes together in 45 minutes.

17. Cynthia King says:

    Can I use fresh corn cut off the cob instead of frozen? Thanks for the recipe!

18. Cyd says:

    Yes, fresh corn works great too.

    Thank you for the recipe was just telling my son how much I love mimi’s Corn chowder. Thank you again

20. Moxie says:

    I fondly remember Mimi's from years ago on the west coast. Thanks for the recipe. I confess I tweaked a few things to tailor it to my husband's palate... like using chicken broth instead of water, and I added a couple of cans of Hatch diced green chiles. Being naturalized New Mexican, the chiles just took it to another level. Thanks for posting. Love your blog.

    God bless you for doing the Lord’s work! I was craving this soup but Mimi’s charges and arm and a leg for a thimble full. I was skeptical that this would taste the same, but had high hopes. It’s identical!! So delicious and easy! We made it last week and I had the leftovers as lunches (just as good reheated), and we’re making it again this weekend for .

    We love the changes you made to the recipe! Diced green chiles sound amazing in the corn chowder. Thanks for sharing.
