Corn Chowder #1, creamy w/bacon
4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch strips
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 medium sweet red or green pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 cup water
2 cups fresh sweet corn or
...1, 10 ounce package frozen whole kernel corn
2 cups half & half or milk
2 Tablespoons minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Cook the bacon in a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat until crisp-about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to paper toweling to drain. Set aside.
Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the pan.
Add the onion and red pepper.
Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, or until vegetables are soft.
Add the water and corn.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
If you are using frozen corn, break up the block with a fork and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the half & half and reheat, uncovered, to serving temperature.
Do not let soup boil or it may curdle.
Stir in the parsley, salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle each serving with some of the reserved bacon, or stir it in when adding the
half & half.
