"I love the smoky background to this classic soup, which is sunny in both colour and flavour. Using frozen sweetcorn reduces the cooking time and it's likely you'll always have some in the freezer ready to make this hearty soup. ___ Smokey paprika deepens the flavour of this chowder and makes it taste as though it has been cooking for hours, not less than 15 min!
