Note from Mac
This recipe was experimental but I found many zesty corn chowder recipes out there. I love corn chowder and I have some vegetables in the fridge. So, I thought to mix them all up. Just as I thought this was uncommon, I find plenty other recipes out there with similar look as my dish. However many of this recipe uses cheese, milk, and adding some protein bits in it. Also, to make this flavor fresh, I added lemon water by the end of the cooking. You can also add different garnish than mine. But yeah, this dish is super versatile. You can make either plant based or non-plant based.
