Ok Ray....

Sorry for the delay...although I've been unpacking the cookbooks....not all were together...and we're talking over 50 liquor boxes full of books - cookbooks that is...won't even get into how many others of fiction, reference and other non-fiction I've had to unpack/sort, etc. Unfortunately, still haven't found my slowcooker - crock pot ones. And I know the one the I'm looking for has a part about converting "normal" recipes for using in crockpots. I've found the cookbooks that are just "soups" - yeah...believe it or not I think I have 5 that are just soups. And now that the temps are dropping I'll be making more of them.

So once I find the box with the slowcooker/crockpot cookbooks, I'll post the conversion stuff in the slowcooker/crockpot thread...along with the recipe here as well as there.

Sorry again for the delay...I haven't forgotten....but life got in the way of the unpacking....sighhhhhhh. God I hate moving.

Corn and Bacon Chowder

Corn is still in season in early September when the kids go back to school, but even made with frozen corn, this is an easy, satisfying lunch is not just for kids. A spoonful of flour makes a thick, restaurant-style chowder but you can leave it out.

1
In a heavy saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it renders some fat, then add the onion and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
2
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onion and bacon and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the stock to prevent lumps from forming.
