corn, bean and yam chowder image

This is a wonderful, chunky, "meal in a bowl" chowder that gains rave reviews whenever i serve it. It is my own recipe, adapted from a roasted corn and sweet potato chowder recipe by Lucy Waverman. My dad, who can't STAND yams or sweet potatoes, always asks me to make my delicious "carrot" soup when he comes to visit (what he doesn't know won't hurt him!). Although this looks time consuming, if you prep and chop your ingredients before hand, you can throw this together quite quickly. Serving size is approximate - depending on if you eat this as a meal or a side dish. Enjoy!

This chowder was a great way to use up some leftover corn, beans, and yams. It was easy to make and very flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was a perfect meal.

This chowder was so good, I ate two bowls! It was so creamy and flavorful, and the corn, beans, and yams were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little more brothy.

I've made this chowder several times now, and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can use frozen corn and beans, and canned yams, and it still turns out great.

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This chowder was absolutely delicious! The combination of corn, beans, and yams was perfect, and the broth was so flavorful. I added a bit of extra cayenne pepper for a little kick, and it was perfect. My family loved it, and we'll definitely be maki
