It’s soup season! Nothing says fall like a warm bowl of Autumn Corn Chowder. This is my kind of comfort food. This is a sponsored post with Mirum Shopper about Fall Cooking with Kids at Target, all opinions are my own.
With the holiday season fast approaching, this is the perfect time of the year to get the kids into the kitchen. This corn chowder recipe from Knorr® comes together easily, and is a great dish to let the kids help prepare. My 8 year old absolutely loves helping out in the kitchen, and I love easy recipes like this one that she can help with.
This recipe conveniently uses Knorr® Homestyle Stock and a package of Knorr® Rice Sides™ Chicken flavor. You also have the option to use frozen corn instead of fresh, which in my humble opinion is just as good. Plus, it makes this soup recipe even simpler to prepare.
Right now Target is having a great stock up sale on classic Uneliver brand favorites like Hellmann’s, Knorr, Breyers, Country Crock, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Lipton Recipe Secrets, and Lipton Tea.
All to inspire you and your kids to get cooking in the kitchen this fall!

One of the few things I like about the cold weather is soup. As soon as fall rolls around I celebrate what I call soup weather.
That soup looks so good. I like that idea of using Knorr in it.
This is a recipe my husband would absolutely love. I may just have to try it for it sometime. If he’s good hahaha!
This is fantastic. I will have to give it a try, corn chowder is great during the colder Fall months!
Yay for the ingredients being low sodium! Canned soups were a regular here, I ate a lot of them on nights where Abby was at her dads, since it’s silly cooking a big dinner for just me. And I LOVE soup. But they are one of the biggest sodium foods, it’s crazy! I’m always looking for new low sodium recipes, especially soup…. And we grow our own corn, so I have loads of frozen corn, and my mom just recently picked the last of the squash. Definitely gonna give this a go 🙂
This soup looks delicious! Perfect for fall. I love corn chowders so I am going to have to make this soon.
What an amazing food and looks easy to make. I will check this out
That’s a fall favorite here too! We’re in Iowa, home of the BEST sweet corn, so it always turns out amazing!
We keep Knorrs in the cabinet all the time. i so need to try this recipe. I love me some corn chowder.
This sounds like a great tasting soup. Comfort food season is here, and soup is always a hit in our house.
