My husband is going to go crazy over this recipe
Kelly says
I love corned beef and cabbage, AND I love chowder! (I agree with your definition 😀 ) I think I might add some corn to this recipe - I don't know why, I love corn in chowder.
foodyschmoody says
Now why didn't I think of that addition Kelly? It seems like a no brainer no that you say it! Next year, corn it is! And thanks for the definition agreement!

Being my husband is Irish-- and ST Patrick's day is coming up--- this Leftover Corned Beef & Cabbage Chowder might be my go to recipe after the festivities ! I am always trying to do something with the leftovers.
foodyschmoody says
Heidi, me too. I'm not big on leftovers unless they are totally repurposed and this fits the bill. Thanks for dropping by.

I followed this recipe to the letter, except I added 1 cup of frozen corn. Rave reviews all around. I'm licking the spoon right now!

Oh, I like the added corn idea! I typically add corn to my chicken soups and chowders so that makes perfect sense!
