Corn Chowder
This Sat. it was all cloudy and cool outside, perfect soup day! Tom and I made plans to make some Corn Chowder. Basically we only ever make two kinds of soup from scratch, Chili, which is Tom's Soup, and Corn Chowder, which is My Soup. The recipe comes from my Stepgrandmother, and my Mom used to make it a lot. It's easy to prepare and keeps well. I do have to admit we never got around to making the soup until Monday and by then it was sunny and warm out, not so great soup weather anymore.
Recipe:
1/2 lb bacon
1 onion
3 medium sized potatoes
1 can corn
1 can creamed corn
1/2 gallon milk
salt and pepper to taste
Chop bacon into small pieces, fry until half cooked, drain fat and add chopped onion. Cook until onion is translucent and bacon is done. Add canned and creamed corn, milk and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2-3 hours, watching to not overheat as the bottom of the pan will burn, or it will boil over and make a huge mess.
