Tonights dinner...

Ok tonights dinner was a huge success...even Ben had 3 bowls of it. :-D And Cory gave me a big thumbs up. So, I thought I'd share....

Cheesy Corn Chowder--from my Taste of Home magazine June 2008

6 bacon strips chopped
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups chopped potatoes
2 cups sliced fresh carrots
2 tsp chicken bouillon
3 cans gold and white corn, drained
1/2 tsp pepper
7 tablespoons all purpose flour
5 cups milk
3 cops shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cubed process cheese (Velveeta)

In Dutch oven, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until onion is tender. Add the water, potatoes, carrots and bouillon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in corn and pepper. In a large bowl, whisk flour and milk until smooth; add to soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Add the cheeses; cook and stir until cheeses are melted.

Side note...we used canned potatoes and instead of the carrots and corn we used a bag of mixed frozen vegetables (those that were on sale this last week..lol..) Plus we didn't have that much shredded cheese , but it still was a very rich soup. My tummy is quite full..lol.. Not a recipe for the dieter.

ENJOY!
