Creamy Corn Chowder

Ingredients

  • 2 small potatoes
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small dice to measure one cup. Cook them until just tender, then set aside.
  2. Fry the bacon slices until they become crisp. Transfer them to a paper towel to drain and cool, then crumble into small pieces.
  3. Remove all but three tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan. Cook the chopped onion and celery in the reserved fat until they soften.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir constantly for one minute. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Add the creamed corn, cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, salt, pepper and paprika to the pot. Stir everything together and heat through before serving.
