10-12 slices bacon
4 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cans creamed corn
32 ou frozen corn
2 tea pepper
2 tea salt
2 tea Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs sugar
2 cups water
Cut slices of bacon into small pieces and place in skillet. Fry until crispy. Add potatoes and onions. Saute for about 5-10 minutes. Add all ingredients to the Crock Pot. Cook on LOW 6-8 hours.
That chilly nip in the evening Colorado air means only one thing- soup and stew season has arrived!! Ok, so I might be stretching it a little. A high temperature in the 60's is still a respectable number. In a couple months it will feel down right balmy! But for right now, it is shocking to leave the house in the morning without a jacket, so I officially declare the Crock Pot back in season. Thanks for following throughout the sweltering summer months. I know it is hard to think of pulling out your slow cooker in mid-August. Hopefully if you thought it was too warm, you will now look back at some of the recipes and give them a try!
This was a good way to start the season! Someone was talking about corn chowder and it sounded good to me, even though I have never seen or heard of corn chowder. So, off to the Internet I go to research some recipes. I am not always the biggest fan of creamy soups, so I was a little wary about using this recipe, but it didn't call for any milk or cream or butter. Simple ingredients, simple recipe. How could the recipe be bad when the first ingredient is bacon!?!? I don't have much patience when it comes to dicing up potatoes, so my potato chunks were a little bigger than I would've liked. Small chunks might have been a better choice. After the chowder was cooking for awhile, it was not very "soupy", so I added another 1 cup of water. This seemed to be perfect. This tasted wonderful. I'm not sure what corn chowder is supposed to look or taste like, but this recipe is a keeper!

It's the first official day of fall and definitely time for soup! Plus, it's chilly come dinner time.
