Corn Chowder With Fingerling Potatoes & Smoked Bacon image

Found it here: http://wellfed.typepad.com/well_fed/2007/09/corn-chowder-wi.html Super good comfort food! Please use fresh corn, as it is much sweeter than frozen. Would be great with a nice piece of bread. You may want to cut back on the cayenne pepper, as 1/4 tbsp is quite a lot.

Yield 4 bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 slices bacon, diced

  • Add butter and onion to drippings in pan and cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Add flour and stir to coat onions. Continue to cook until flour has turn a very pale, golden color, one or two minutes.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon next time.

Not bad, but not great. I found the chowder to be a bit bland.
