Bacon and Corn Chowder
When ordinary soup just won't do. It is time to bring on the chowder. Creamy, chock full of veggies and smoky ham or bacon plus the sweetness of corn
My my...we have been digging through our archives and this was lost in the 2008 files somewhere. It is SO yummy. I seriously didn't change a thing except the picture which was dismal to say the least. The recipe? Still solid. Only added a bit of thyme and that was pretty much a styling decision, though the taste of course is never lost....we all need more thyme!
I hope you enjoy this amazing chowder all dressed up now in it's fancy picture! Still hearty family good old fashioned soup!
