Corn Chowder with Wild Rice

September 2, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone,

September is National Whole Grain Month and today I teamed up with the Whole Grain Council to help convince you to “Make the Switch” to include more nutritious and delicious whole grains in your every day meals. I think that is pretty doable after all whole grains are healthy for you, tasty and doesn’t just mean wheat, but includes foods like quinoa, wild rice, cornmeal, rye, and bulgur. Think of all the fun recipes you can make with just those ingredients.  You know how I am a huge fan of quinoa!  🙂

So for today’s “Make the Switch” recipe I have  for you the perfect fall recipe, Corn Chowder with Wild Rice.
Corn Chowder with Wild Rice
This soup is just amazing. It’s creamy, filling, low-calorie, lots of vegetables and it has a slight kick of heat from the peppers and the best part a huge hit with the family. This was the first time they ever had corn chowder. Really? They have been missing out. When I told them what I was making I got ehhh, but then they had it and they couldn’t stop eating it. Needless to say I didn’t have leftovers. That’s when you know you made a recipe right!
Corn Chowder with Wild Rice
To make the soup I used fresh corn from the husks, but you can always use frozen too. Then I added carrots, mushrooms, onions, Pasilla Peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Yum!! Then I added some chicken broth, water, wild rice and to end the meal I used already cooked chicken. I cheated on the chicken and bought a rotisserie chicken. That made this recipe super easy. The cooking time is roughly an hour and you get 10 cups of this beautiful soup. Oh and get this only 137 calories a cup. Who loves ya baby?

I entered this recipe to the Whole Grain Council to win a trip to Boston in November. I have been to Boston once and I hope to make it there again. It’s such a beautiful city filled with so much history and wonderful food. Plus I can win cash prizes!  So I need your vote! But really, try the recipe and let me know what you think. I want your taste-buds to choose the winner of this contest, not popularity.

    Hard to describe how perfect this soup is. I pinned it for later. Today was ‘later’ when my 8 year old looked through my Soups board, saw this, read the recipe and told me that he wanted your soup for dinner. It is FANTASTIC!! I shared some with friends who had the same raves that we had. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

      Hi Betsy! How sweet that your 8 year old picked out my soup from your board. I am so happy that you and your friends loved it. It’s one of my favorites too. Thank you so much for the compliment, you made my day.

    Hi, I’ve been using your recipes for about 2 months now and have been loving everything, but this is the first one that didn’t turn out quite right for me. I halved the ingredients but otherwise followed all the instructions and after maybe 45 minutes or so there was no liquid left in the pot. Should I have covered it while simmering, or maybe reduced cooking time?

    I ended up pouring another cup of chicken broth in, along with the half and half. The result was still delicious but less “soup” and more succatash. My wife loved it so I’d like to make it again but this time do it right. Thanks!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
