Corn chowder that Sue made for g-mas party 2011

Corn Chowder

Cook 1/2 -1 lb bacon until crispy

1 c. onion

3 c. potatoes chopped

1 c. celery chopped

cover with water and add 1 can corn drained.

Simmer until tender. Do not drain water, set aside.

In another pan:

melt 3/4 c. butter

1 1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 t. pepper

2 tsp. sugar

3/4 c. flour

Make a paste. Then add 1 pint half and half and 2 c. milk. Stir until thickened.

Pour into potato mixture. It will thicken. Add the crumbled bacon to the soup. I also love to add a little cheese.
