Recipe Round-Up: Soups and Stews

Posted on by

I just saw a post for a Recipe Round-Up at new-to-me Lux Venit via Everyday Mommy and decided to repost this recipe.

I love potato soups, and some day I am going to make a completely-from-scratch one. But in the meantime this quicker version does nicely. I found it in a Quick Cooking magazine (now called Simple and Delicious) (one of Taste of Home’s spinoffs). It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s good.

Corny Potato Chowder

4 bacon strips, diced
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 can (15 oz.) whole potatoes, drained and diced
2 cups milk
1 can (14 – 3/4 oz.) cream-style corn
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/8 tsp. pepper

In a large saucepan, cook the bacon and onion until bacon is almost crisp; drain. Add potatoes; saute for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the milk, corn, garlic salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until heated through. Yield: 4-6 servings.

I use the already-cooked-just-microwave bacon (we don’t use bacon very often, so that works well for us), then just mix all the other ingredients together and heat through. I don’t use that much onion either — more like a tablespoon of minced onion. And I use garlic powder rather than garlic salt and just add a few sprinkles of salt. I also buy the already diced canned potatoes. And I just use 1 cup milk.

  3. I never thought of using canned potatoes, Barbara. That’s a time-saver for sure! Thanks for sharing. Oh, and this sounds like a fish chowder that made a couple of weeks ago. It has all of the same ingredients. You just add fish! I used haddock…..a pound of it cause I like ALOT of fish. I just cut it up into small chunks and added it to the soup. I didn’t know how I would like the creamed corn but it was luscious!
