Sweet Potato Corn Chowder

This soup was a weekly favourite of my mother during the cold winter months…she served it to us regularly. When we moved to Cape Town, a dear friend invited us to supper and to our great surprise and delight, she served up this very same soup.  So it’s a family and friends dish and we love it… Hope you do too!!!!!
