Corn Chowder from @wilmadelgado

2 medium sized red potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups water
3 bacon slices
1 cup minced onion
(14 3/4 ounce) cans cream style corn
2 cups milk
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.

Bring potato and 3 cups water to a boil in large dutch oven;reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes. Set aside. Do not drain! Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp;reserving 2T drippings in skillet, and crumble bacon. Saute’ onion in drippings until tender.  Stir bacon, onion, corn, and next 5 ingredients into dutch oven.  Bring to a
boil over medium heat; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often,

NOTE: I don’t go exactly by the recipe…I usually end up adding a LOT more potatoes and bacon….and will add a bag of frozen corn to this also…..sometimes some diced carrots too…just to add color. Caleb loves this stuff.

    Mmmmm. This looks good! My New Mexican version from the Pink Adobe Restaraunt in Santa Fe adds green chili to the above.

    This sounds awesome.

    How many cans of corn are required? The number is either cut off by the photo or missing. :(

    I checked the submission and there was no number. I think it may be one. I’ll ask Woilma when I see her…

    I usually use about 2 cans of cream style corn and a couple of whole kernel. I cook a lot and don’t go exactly by the recipe…I’ve even used fresh corn and frozen corn. Just kind of play with it. It’s really good stuff!
