I fell in love with the corn chowder at Mimi's and was unable to find a recipe that tasted like it here. I was able to find the actual recipe on Mimi's own site.

MIMI'S CAFE CORN CHOWDER

This comes from a restaurant that is here in Utah, at least that is where I think it is from. I made it the other night, and it was slightly different from most corn chowders because it didn't use bacon. This is a very mild tasting chowder.

My family and friends are always ready to dig right in when I serve my chowder. It's thick and rich...and pairs well with a favorite salad or sandwich. They never guess it gets its start with a can of condensed soup.-Dorothy Faulkner, Benton, Arkansas
