Ok, I realize this is not the time of year for soup. Well I guess some of you do live where it’s getting cold now. So whether you are cold or hot, this soup hits the spot…

½ lb of bacon - diced
2 cups of frozen corn (thawed) or 1 can of cream corn
1 large potato - cubed
½ an onion - diced
1 can of chopped green chili or 4-5 fresh seeded and chopped
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
¾ cup of water
3 cups of light cream or milk
salt to taste

Cook the bacon. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Remove half of the drippings. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the potato and water and cook until tender but not mushy.

Process the frozen corn in a food processor or blender until broken up but not a puree. Add to the potato mixture along with the mushroom soup, green chili, the cream and salt.

Simmer on low for 10 - 15 minutes. Adjust salt if necessary.

Garnish each bowl with the bacon bits. This soup goes great with corn bread or just tortilla chips on the side.

Enjoy!
