I love to get my daughter in the kitchen cooking. She's a pretty good cook and has been helping me since she was old enough to safely cook on the stove. She loves to try new recipes and I knew she would love this easy Squash Corn Chowder recipe.

Hanging out with my daughter cooking is a good time for us to talk. I love to share some quirky stories from my childhood about the unusual foods I ate as a kid.

Well, only some of my childhood meals were unusual. What I really like to do is gross her out telling her about how I grew up eating the food my German grandmother cooked like neck bones and sauerkraut and Oxtail soup.

My daughter and her siblings would never eat either of those meals and I get such a kick because the thought that her mother did and enjoyed it really grosses her out.

The recipe uses fresh chopped butternut squash, leeks, celery and corn kernels. Chicken stock adds a rich flavor base.

The addition of Knorr Rice Sides chicken flavor along with the un-blended vegetables makes this hearty fall soup recipe perfect for a weeknight family meal.

The creamy base comes from blending part of the soup base until smooth and mixing it in with the remaining vegetables and Rice Sides making this creamy soup a lighter version without adding any cream.

    I make a butternut squash bisque every year, but this chowder looks really tasty. Love the addition of leeks and corn. Will definitely be adding to MUST TRY list.
