Light Chicken Corn Chowder

I came across this recipe on Better Together and knew it would be perfect for a cold winter’s night. Well, it was down right frigid last night, and this soup provided just the right amount of warmth and comfort. Plus it was savory and delicious! We served this soup with reduced fat crescent rolls. It was really easy to put together and hit the spot on a cold night. I just made some slight changes to the recipe to use what I had on hand, they are below.
