it's a more flavorful, slow cooked chicken broth. but chicken broth is fine.

if you really are going to make it: brown the meat first, (drain the fat) add the onion and let it soften for like 2-3 mins, add all the spices, then add the beer, and let that all but evaporate...about 8 mins, add the chicken stock, and then the corn so it stays nice & crunchy, and let it all meld together for like 15 mins. and you're good to go.

why don't YOU make this FOR your wife? haha
