Packed corn, potatoes, celery and bacon this Bacon Corn & Potato Chowder is hearty and delicious, it’s sure to fill you up and make you feel good.
The last few days we have been under the weather here in our house and one thing that always makes me feel better is soup. Now that it is Fall and the weather is stating to cool off (even a bit here too), that means soup season is upon us my friends.
To be honest, I have actually made this recipe twice over the last 3 days; it’s a hearty, delicious soup that is sure to fill you up and make you feel good! It comes together pretty quickly and makes a great lunch or dinner, even with or without bread. Whether you’re feeling a little sick or the temperature is just right, you won’t be disappointed with this soup; I hope you’ll enjoy!
