A Creamy Midwestern Favorite, Straight from the Heartland

Born from the wide-open fields of our home state of Illinois, this award-winning chowder is close to our hearts—and our most beloved recipe for good reason. Our Illinois Prairie Corn Chowder is a cozy, creamy classic that celebrates the sweetness of Midwest-grown corn, blended with red bell peppers, rice, and a hint of rustic charm.

This soup mix makes it easy to bring homestyle flavor to your table. Just add diced potatoes and a splash of cream to create a thick, hearty bowl that’s both comforting and deeply satisfying. Whether you're feeding a crowd or freezing leftovers for later, it's the kind of soup that feels like a hug from home.

From our Illinois kitchen to yours, this chowder brings the bounty of the prairie to every bite—warm, golden, and made with love.

One of our favorites turned into an ultra-hearty soup by browning bacon bits first and adding clams before serving. Voila! A lovely corn clam chowder perfect on a wintry night.
