Corn and Bacon Chowder

The evenings are getting nice and crisp around these parts.  That calls for none other than a hearty bowl of soup.  One of my favorites comes from my K-12 Private School cookbook.  That’s one of my most beloved sources of recipes! While in a rut a few years ago, I was thumbing through and discovered a wonderful corn and bacon chowder.  I’ve modified it from time to time to use ham or whatever else I think might be good in it as well.  But, no matter what meat I include (or don’t) in it, ah…it’s simply marvelous.  AND it’s easy.  This took me less than 5 minutes to make tonight.  The longest part was finding my manual can opener because my electric one died.  I should’ve timed myself.  You’d have thought I’d spent all day on it!  The next cool night you have, give this a try!
