Bacon Corn Chowder Recipe


My husband loves this soup on cold winter days, which are plentiful here in Michigan! He's not a fan of veggies, but he gobbles them up in this soup!



    8 Servings
    Prep: 15 min.
   Cook: 25 min.


Ingredients

    4 bacon strips, diced
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 celery rib, chopped
    1/4 cup chopped green pepper
    4 cups cubed peeled potatoes
    2-1/2 cups chicken broth
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 quart half-and-half cream
    1 package (16 ounces) frozen corn, thawed


Directions

    In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings.
    In the drippings, saute the onion, celery and green pepper until tender. Add the potatoes, broth, salt, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
    Combine flour and cream until smooth; stir into pan. Add corn. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in bacon. Yield: 8 servings (about 2 quarts).
