BACON POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Have you heard the Jewish Proverb “Worries go down better with Soup”? I’m finding this to be more and more true. Other than chocolate of course, there seems to be no other food more comforting than a warm bowl of soup. Thank heavens that Soup Season is just around the corner!! 

Today’s tried and true recipe is similar to the Cheesy Ham Chowder from my last post. No ham or carrots, today but this Bacon Potato Corn Chowder is just as yummy. If you’ve had Claim Jumpers Baked Potato Soup, this tastes a lot like it, which means you can have restaurant style food in the comfort of your own home. Yes please! As you know most chowders are thicker than soups, but they are still just as good. If you’d like to make it more soupy we suggest adding some chicken broth or more evaporated milk.
