Ihave been looking for a tuna chowder recipe that i made in the 50s and 60s which my children still remember fondly and still talk about. My 59 year old son asked me last night for the recipe which I can no longer find. I am assuming it is similar to the Charlie's corn chowder. We'll see.

OMGoodness! this is absolutely delicious! actually yummier than my corn and shrimp soup recipe -- and healthier! i am so glad i found this! i never have creamed corn, so i substituted just regular corn and i also put a cup of diced potatoes in it. TWAS DEVOURED!!!
