Corn Chowder

Corn Chowder

1/2 C diced bacon

4 medium potatoes chopped

1/2 medium onion, chopped

2 C water

2 1/2 - 3 C corn (creamed or frozen - I used a combo)

2 t salt

pepper to taste

2 C half-and-half

shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish

Saute bacon until crisp; add onion and potato and cook for a few minutes, until onions are translucent.  Add water, corn, and salt.  Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  Add the half-and-half, stir.  Serve with cheese to garnish.  If you want it to look even prettier, reserve a little bacon and chop up some green onions or chives to garnish as well.
