How to Make Green Chile Corn Chowder
This creamy chowder is packed full of corn, zucchini, and squash, accented with a hint of chile. Reduced fat cheeses and cream create a healthier chowder.
If you have trouble finding condensed cheese soup, substitute 8 oz processed cheese spread (such as velveeta) and an additional 1 cup fat-free half-and-half.
