If you're a fan of rich and creamy soups that don't take a lot of work, you're in luck. Our Old-Fashioned Corn Chowder is so simple to make and tastes so good, your gang'll think you spent all day in the kitchen!

Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 40 min

 
What You'll Need:
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 red potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 (14.75-ounce) cans cream-style corn
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What To Do:
  1. In a soup pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool, then crumble and set aside.
     
  2. Over medium heat, cook onion in bacon drippings 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender, stirring constantly. Add potatoes and water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
     
  3. Stir remaining ingredients into potato mixture; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring often. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately.
