Corn Chowder I
Corn Chowder I brings together sweet creamed corn, tender potatoes, and smoky, crispy bacon in a rich, velvety soup. It’s hearty and comforting with a touch of cheddar and paprika on top, perfect for feeding a crowd at dinner or reheating for lunches—its flavors deepen by the next day and it freezes well.

Transfer the cooked onions to a large stockpot. Add the flour and cook until the mixture is bubbly and the flour is fully dissolved. Add the milk and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring often. Watch the pot closely while bringing it to a boil and heating, as the bottom can easily scorch. Once boiling, add the salt, pepper, bacon, corn, and all the potatoes. (If desired, reserve some of the bacon for garnish.)
