Recipe by Acerast

I grew up eating corn chowder made from our own sweet corn and seasoned with bacon. I never thought of putting chicken or cheese in it, but they both really make it special. This a version of a recipe that I clipped from Cooking Light magazine. I made a few changes to suit my family's taste.
