This is seriously one of the best soups ever!!! Our family loves it so much that it is even requested for birthday dinners sometimes, along with the best ever corn bread that you can read about here.
Corn Chowder4 slices of diced bacon
1 medium chopped onion
1 can of corn
1 1/2 cups diced raw potato
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Saute bacon and onion together in a large pot until cooked. Drain excess bacon grease.
Add everything else and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until potato is cooked, but stir it once in a while!
That is the basic recipe, but I usually quadruple it. For example, we use a whole package of bacon, and way more potatoes. We go through so much milk so if I can use something else in cooking, I do. So I usually cook it all in water and then add some cream at the end to make it creamy. I like it even better with the cream than with the milk.
I hear it’s supposed to rain and snow again this week. This will be the perfect meal for that day – and I hope it’s just one day! I always love to hear the happy sounds my kids make when they read Corn Chowder on the menu board (read about that here).
