Corn Chowder with Bacon
It’s finally cooler in Florida now and all I can think about is warm soups and lots of hot tea and coffee. For this soup, I wanted a little taste of summer in a winter soup, so I made this corn chowder with sweet frozen corn. I used a mixture of sweet yellow and white corn along with red and green peppers and lots of smoky bacon. This isn’t only a delicious chowder, but it’s also very economical. It’s very filling, and you can make a ton of it without spending alot.
