Dilo's Chicken Corn Chowder

Submitted by DiLo8280

"took me a long time to perfect this, but now that I feel it can't get any better (and the family feels the same). It's definitely a family favorite and requested when people come to visit. I started with basic chicken corn chowder and added sweet potatoes one time and loved it. But it still wasn't quite there, then the key was a bit of cinnamon for flavoring. This bides well on a cold rainy or snowy day."

This is a delicious soup, however directions regarding the bacon were not clear. I crumbled it on top of each bowl. Also I cooked the chicken, removed the pieces and then cooked the onion and carrots. I par-cooked the potatoes. I used 3/4 cup veggie broth to loosen the fond for more flavor. All Ingredients went into the soup pot with 4 cups milk. The cinnamon was the perfect touch. Thank you DiLo8280!
