Corn, Bacon and Potato Chowder

I have been obsessed with making (and eating) soups and chowders lately.

Something about the warmness in my belly is very addicting.

I recently pinned this recipe from Weight Watchers and whipped it up the other night. 

I put my own little spin on the recipe and added turkey bacon, extra corn and peppers.

Corn, Bacon, and Potato Chowder

1 can creamed corn

1 cup green or red pepper, diced

4 oz uncooked Canadian-style bacon, diced   

4 slices turkey bacon

2 cups fat free milk

S&P to taste

1. Wrap potatoes in plastic wrap, poke with a fork and microwave

2. Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray. Add celery, onion, corns and red pepper; sauté over medium-high heat for at least 10 minutes. 

 3. Cook/brown bacons (separately) in sauce pan and dice.

4. Stir bacons and milk into saucepan.  Stir in mashed potatoes and mix well.  Season with S&P to taste. Let simmer about 15 minutes (or more).

 Low fat and delicious!
Perfect for chilly nights!
