It's all about creating one dish and turning the leftovers into something new!
This satisfying corn chowder is extra easy to throw together when you have leftover Grill Roasted Corn-on-the-Cob in your fridge. Just cut the buttery corn off the cob to measure 1 1/2 cups (about 2 ears), then use the corn in this creamy soup that has tons of vegetables and packs a little punch of heat. Don't forget to top it off with not one, but two kids of Land O Lakes® shredded cheese.
It's another new meal, not just the leftovers. Enjoy!

Brrr. That chill in the air can only mean one thing: It’s time to warm up with a pot of chowder. Or two. Or six. On the stovetop or in the slow cooker, chowder is easy and filling.
