CHEDDAR, CORN & POTATO CHOWDER

Cheddar, Corn & Potato Chowder image

Curry gives this just the right amount of zip without being overpowering. I especially like all the veggies in the recipe. My kids always loved it, even when they were young, and I always had to make a double or triple batch to make sure we had enough leftovers.-Becky Ruff, McGregor, Iowa
