Sweet Corn Chowder???

I am hoping that the readers are going to come with some inspirational names for this dish-I thought about “sweet corn chowder”

While shopping with my Rhodes vouchers, I did get carried away and bought one too many cans of sweet corn-the cream style and the whole kernel corn, and therefore another invention with the use of Rhodes sweet corn and whole kernel corn, I really have no idea what to call it, as it was created out of what I would call “as I went along”. I loved this dish and had it for lunch and dinner over a 2 day period. Yes I do realise that it is only carbs—no protein, so the next time I am going to try and incorporate split mung beans into this so it retains all the taste and flavour of the corn, but will have the added bonus of a vegetarian protein, and I can maybe have it more often, as I know when I prepare this at home I am the only one that eats corn
