Between August and October, in-season produce is so abundant in its diversity. It’s the only time of year you can buy fresh sweet corn, winter squash, sweet peppers, jalapeños and late season tomatoes in one market haul. There’s a chill in the air too, so that means soup season is here!
I made this delicious vegetarian potato corn chowder recipe on a whim, after scanning the contents of the fridge and pantry. What a delicious discovery after following a craving! We love the results. It’s easy to make, freezer friendly and pairs perfectly with a big salad and crusty bread.
