Neil, I'm with you when it comes to eating soup. I eat it year-round but find a soup such as your sweetcorn soup to taste best on a cool autumn day when the leaves are falling. Since that's what it like here, I think this dish will tuck-in just fine in the coming days.
Neil
Thanks Ron! Good to hear from you again. I hope the move went well and that you are good. Yes this is a delicious and simple soup. Especially comforting on these autumn days.
Matt - Total Feasts
I do love a good soup, but in the colder months, they do seem to taste just a little bit better. Never made a corn chowder before, but it looks very tempting!
Neil
Thanks Matt. I agree soup does taste best in colder months. But I still eat it all year round anyway. Ha ha. I guess I've just got into a habit of doing that to keep my weight at a consistent level. Thanks for your comment!

David @ Spiced
Soup season has definitely arrived here in New York! It was quite chilly this morning, and I'm debating switching over to long pants and long sleeve shirts. Speaking of chilly, I would love a bowl of this soup for lunch or dinner today. It sounds delicious! And great idea to serve it with a nice toasted piece of multigrain bread. Yum!!
Neil
Ah the days of wearing shorts here have gone David. Even indoors it's too cold. Although I did go out for a walk this afternoon and it was quite warm but breezy. I think I'll wait until next summer though! Thanks for commenting. Yes this soup is absolutely delicious especially with a piece of that multigrain bread.
Laura
I love a simple and flavorful soup like this, Neil! I totally agree, soup is an inexpensive and nutritious meal, any time of year! We are in full-on Autumn mode here now, so the weather is perfect for this lovely dish!
Neil
I know what you mean about being in full-on Autumn mode now Laura, I actually had my heating on briefly yesterday! Oh well at least we can eat plenty of bowls of this soup over the next few months to keep warm! Thanks for taking the time to comment and hope that you are well!
sherry
not really a good time for soup here in sunny queensland but i do love a sweetcorn version. this is very similar to one i make. so easy and so delish! cheers sherry
Neil
No I can imagine that sweetcorn cobs done on the BBQ would be more appropriate for you there in Australia at the moment Sherry! Still you can save this for when it does turn to winter there. 🙂
