I *love* soups of all kinds. Here's my easy chowder recipe: 1/2 lb. bacon 1 med. onion 1-2 stalks celery, cut into bite size pieces (optional) 2 cans creamed corn 1 to 1 1/2 qts water or broth (adjust amount as necessary) 4-5 med potatoes diced into chunks 1/4 - 1/2 c all purpose flour 1 pt. half & half 1/2 block butter Salt & pepper to taste Saute bacon, onion and celery until slightly browned. Add flour as though making a roux. Mixture will be thick. Do not leave your stove! Slowly add liquid and mix well until it is smooth. Add potatoes and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked. Add corn and bring to simmer again. Season & taste. Adjust as necessary. Add the half & half and stir until mixed well. Just before serving, add butter and stir in until it is melted. Top with seasoned croutons and serve immediately with a nice salad. Bon appetit! Variations: Diced shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced Diced carrots 1-2 cans minced clams Be creative, sky is the limit!! Note: The thickening process is done at the beginning. I find this makes the consistency even and much less likely to "break" when you add the cream. I saw this method used on Food Network at a famous chowder house in Oregon and I have used it ever since. Works everytime.
