Corn Chowder
Our simple soup really highlights the taste of sweet summer corn, but since the vegetable is available virtually all the time, you can make the chowder year-round. You can even use frozen corn, though fresh is best. Pureeing some of the corn kernels to stir into the simmering soup helps thicken it while deepening the corn flavor.More Chowder Soup RecipesMore Easy Corn Recipes

Frozen-Corn Variation
If you want to use frozen corn, puree two cups of it with the milk as directed above, and add the remaining two cups to the soup along with the puree. Since the corn is already cooked, it might toughen if it goes in earlier. You could add a pinch of sugar, too.
Suggested Pairing
Chardonnay seems to have an affinity for corn; perhaps it is the sweet buttery flavors that complement each other so well. For best effect with this chowder, pick a rich, full-bodied example from southeastern Australia.
