This week, our morning campers went around the world with their taset buds. We made recipes from Italy, Brazil, and Vietnam just to name a few. One of the days focused on dishes from different regions of the United States, and New England Corn Chowder was the clear favorite. It can be made with fresh corn in the summer or from frozen corn in the dead of winter to bring back the tastes of summer. It’s filling and hearty without being too heavy, and it packs a ton of flavor into each spoonful. You can keep it chunky, or puree it smooth to your liking. Add whatever ever toppings your heart desires, a salad or some bread on the side, and you have a great meal!
