Corn Chowder

This is a slimmed down version of the original recipe that I started making many years ago. We now use uncured turkey bacon and fat free evaporated milk. It's still a family favorite.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 lb bacon, preferably uncured turkey bacon
• 1  medium onion, sliced
• 3  medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1  cup water (or enough to cover)
• 3 (15 ounce) cans  cream-style corn
• 2  cups nonfat milk or 2  cups evaporated milk
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Cook bacon in oil until crisp; drain on paper towels, crumble and set aside.
2. Add onions to drippings, and saute till golden.
3. Add potatoes and water to cover. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer about ten minutes or until potatoes are tender.
4. Add corn, milk, salt and pepper.
5. Stir in about one-third of the turkey bacon; heat through, stirring occasionally.
6. Serve with additional crumbled bacon and freshly grated pepper.
