Mmmmm...corn chowder! One of my absolute favorite recipes to make. This one is soo easy, and one I will whip up if family or friends come unexpectedly and I am at a loss for something to make. Served with warm rolls or biscuits, makes a perfect autumn or winter meal...

Creamy Corn Chowder
6-8 servings

2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup hot water
5 bacon strips
1 cup chopped green pepper (optional)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
1 1/2 cups corn (I use frozen)
1 (14 3/4 oz.) can cream style corn
1/2 teaspoon each salt, seasoned salt, basil and white pepper

Dissolve bouillon in water & set aside. In 5 quart dutch oven, cook bacon. Crumble & set aside. In drippings, saute green pepper & onion until tender. Add flour and cook until bubbly. Cook one more minute. Gradually stir in milk & bouillon. Reduce heat; cook & stir until thickened. Add corn (both kinds) and seasoning. Cook 10 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with bacon.

(I also will sometimes top with grated cheddar or parmesean cheese at the table).

This recipe comes from Taste of Home, my favorite cooking magazines. Are any of you familiar or fans of this magazine?? I personally think it's the best!
