444. Shrimp Chowder Soup

A thick and creamy chowder or soup, filled to the brim with refreshing seafood and sunshine corn and potatoes was the ideal thing to make today.

It's rich flavor is not at all compromised by the fact that it takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
No cream is in this soup; only milk.
If you use fresh corn, toss in the cobs as well while cooking; they will lend fantastic flavor and are easily removed before serving.
If you like shellfish, you can add some of those as well.
Adapted from Everyday Food.
