Quick Corn Chowder is a tasty, filling soup recommended by Diane Brewster of Highland, New York. When my husband and I decided I'd stay home with our new baby, his salary had to be stretched pretty thin, Diane recalls. I became an expert at preparing meals with more 'sense' than dollars! Ingredients:
1 bacon strip, diced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth |
2 cups water |
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced |
1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained |
1 cup milk, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
chopped fresh parsley, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towel to drain. Saute onion in drippings until tender. Add the broth, water and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
2. Stir in the corn, 3/4 cup of milk, salt and pepper. Combine flour and remaining milk until smooth; gradually add to soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Garnish with bacon and parsley if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
