I’m from Central PA where Chicken corn soup is a staple. My grandfather was a corn farmer when I was growing up, so we ate it quite often.

Thanks for the linky.

I love adding corn to my chili. It creates a nice balance between sweet and hot. I’m linking up my Baked chicken Parmesan. I save money by repurposing leftover spaghetti sauce and using homemade croutons.

I made this not too long ago. It was like a soup than a chili, but it was still good.
