~THE BEST CORN CHOWDER~

This corn chowder recipe is loved by all. It is quick and easy and you can alter it to suit your tastes.


7-8 slices cooked bacon
4 carrots (chopped)
1 sweet or yellow onion (diced)
2-3 garlic cloves (diced)
1 package sliced white mushrooms
2-3 diced potatoes
2 cans chicken broth or stock
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp flour
2 cans sweet yellow corn
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
salt and pepper

Cook the bacon and set aside. In a large pot add the butter or olive oil. On medium heat saute the carrots, onion, garlic, and mushrooms until tender. Add the flour and stir constantly until a paste forms(make sure all of the flour dissolves). Stir in the chicken broth and add the potatoes. Simmer on medium-low until potatoes are cooked through. Add the corn and cook approximately 10 minutes. Add the whipping cream and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

*I usually add other seasonings that I have on hand. Either fresh or dried oregano and parsley are good. This meal is so good and easy. A loaf of Italian bread makes a great companion for dipping. Enjoy!!
