Corn chowder

Soup time! Corn chowder last night, which I made from a conglomeration of recipes. Let's see, I diced up a couple of slices of bacon and then cooked it in a bit of butter until it was browned. Drained most of the fat, all but a couple of tablespoons, then added a couple of diced onions and cooked them until they were soft, about 10 minutes. I then added 4 cups chicken broth and 3 cups diced potatoes and cooked them about 15 minutes until the potatoes were tender. I added 2 cups milk, one can (15 oz) of regular corn, drained, and 1 can of creamed corn, and heated it all up.

I served it last night with Welsh Rarebit.

Tonight with the girls gone I sauteed some diced red peppers in a bit of butter and added them to the corn chowder. They added a nice bit of crunch!
