Corn Chowder
From Cat Lady (her hubby likes with with shredded chicken)
2 cans cream of potato soup
2 cans cream corn
2 cans corn (or approx 4 cups frozen)
3 cups +/- diced potatoes
1 qt half & half
extra milk if needed
salt and pepper to taste. I like a lot of pepper... almost a Tblspn

Mix everything together and simmer till potatoes are tender, stirring occasionaly so it doesn't stick to the pan. I also use canned potatoes or sometimes frozen hashbrowns.
