Corn and Bacon Chowder

Good soup! I do not own a food processor, so my soup was a bit chunkier than the picture. I also used fresh corn off the cob instead of the second bag of frozen corn. I would suggest adding a jalapeño or something else for a bit more spice and will do so in the future.

a very yummy and easy to make soup. I let it cook a little longer just to make sure the flavors blend, and because the boyfriend loves bacon I crumble extra for him. I could make this once a week. it may have become my favorite soup!

I normally steer clear of corn chowder because of the fat/calories so I was excited to see a recipe that was low in both. Instead of the pre-mixed and chopped vegetables I used half a cup each of finely chopped celery and onion (used a food processor) and one whole jalapeno. The jalapeno worked great to add spice but wasn't too overpowering, at least not for me. I also used skim milk instead of 1% and it was fine. I highly recommend this recipe. It seemed more like 4 servings than 6.

This was wonderful. Made some changes to my liking. Doubled recipe, added about 2 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of SKIM milk. Puree milk and corn WELL so it's nice and smooth. I broiled a jalapeno pepper until black then removed skin and chopped fine. This adds tons of flavor without heat. Left out other peppers. Used regular sharp cheddar not light and added carrots to celery/onion mix. We could not stop eating this! Would make it again tommorow.

I love this soup! to take it up a notch, i add a couple red skin potatoes, cubed and some crab! Delicious. I also like to add some heat so it's a spicy crab and corn chowder. The additions make it heartier for a nice meal and I make this all the time. Pair with a salad and your done!
