Wow! This is really a great chowder. I have made plenty of clam chowder in my days, but up until this one, I had never tried corn and hominy chowder. So when I first tried this corn and hominy chowder, I was a bit sceptical about the outcome. However, after making and tasting this great dish, I was sold…and so was my wife. Couple a lovely bowl of this chowder with a nice, fresh loaf of crusty French bread and you are good to go.
