I wanted to make corn chowder, with what I had on hand in my fridge & cupboards. So, this is what I came up w/ & it was lovely! Not too heavy but flavorful. My son said "This doesn't taste like other corn chowders. It tastes better." So, I'll go with that. :) If you don't want to use curry, use a dash of nutmeg @ the end to give it a richness.
