Chicken Corn Chowder
I just want to say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to all my readers for your support and love for my chicken corn soup. This is the second time it went viral on Facebook. You can see that post chicken corn soup FB post here.
I’m so thankful for all the sweet compliments and words of appreciation. If you’re interested, you can find the soup recipe here. It seems fairly certain that here in Pennsylvania we adore chicken corn soup. We definitely have plenty of corn fields to prove it. It appears that it’s a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite here in Central PA.
This is surely one thing I love most about our area. There’s just something so mesmerizing about the beautiful fields, stunning farms and big blue skies. No matter where my life takes me here on earth I’ll always have a special place in my heart for this beautiful area.
The gorgeous red barns, creeks and landscape sometimes leave me speechless. Thankful to be a part of this beautiful area.
Also, speaking of fields and Central PA. I was at the local farmers market this past Saturday. If you’d like to get a glimpse and tour of the market come along for the ride. I went live in the market to show you around. Head over to the video and take a peek!
One last thing, thanks for supporting this adoring soup fan. We have lots of soup recipes here on the blog. Be sure to check them out to find something new to try tonight!
