Bacon-Potato Corn Chowder
I was raised on a farm, so a warm soup with homey ingredients, like this corn chowder with bacon, was always a treat after a chilly day outside. My hearty chowder nourishes the family. —Katie Lillo, Big Lake, Minnesota

Reviews
Probably the best soup recipe I have tried!!
Instead of milk, I use 2 cups of 1/2
Best soup we have had in a long time! Everyone loved it, no whining!
My parents owned a restaurant. My mom would make this and we would be sold out every time. It's awesome
Turned out great and was a hit at my house! The only things I did differently was to lightly mash/break up the potatoes a little, add a couple Tbsp of flour to give it a traditional chowder consistency, a little xtra course ground pepper, and used the pan I cooked the bacon
Quick meal that everyone liked. Next time I'll probably add some green chilies, perhaps even some chicken bouillon to add a little something to the flavor.
For those of you that added half-and-half how much did you add and did you still add the evaporated milk?
This was quick and delicious! Perfect for a cold weeknight meal. The whole family loved it. It's a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Delicious and easy, I made this tonight after work. It didn’t take long at all and what a comforting meal on this cold Winter evening!
Great Soup and Easy I followed some of the suggestions of other reviews and added chicken bouillon along with half and half cream. So nice and homey!
