It’s safe to assume that corn chowder was born on a day that someone came up empty when they went out clamming. Traditionally, this would use chicken stock, but here we get everything we can out of the corncob instead. If you can’t get good corn on the cob, substitute frozen corn: Add half the kernels instead of the cobs and cob milk, puree the soup, then add the rest of the kernels.
