I love to make soups with almost everything and I don&#8217;t mind having soups almost everyday. Soups comfort me on a freezing winter day or night, when I am down with flu or when I am feeling low. Having said that, since last night I&#8217;ve been on a soup diet as I am down with flu. Just like I love soups, flu loves me too. When there is a flu season I&#8217;ll be the first one to get embraced by flu. Yup, we get along really well.\u00a0I took the day off from work and was trying to take some good rest. I am so weird that when I am sick I feel like doing a lot of things and when I am absolutely alright I want to sit idle. I tried hard to stay cozy inside the blanket, I felt so bored that I woke up and started writing about this chowder.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I made this chowder with cauliflower and corn. This is a very simple recipe which calls for only basic ingredients. Anyone who loves the combination of cauliflower and corn, would love this soup to the core.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cauliflower and Corn Chowder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\"
