Fall Recipes

I have been looking forward to making these delicious soups. Both of these are family favorites. Try them out.

Autumn Chowder

6 slices bacon, chopped or 2 cups of ham, cubed

1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup water

3 cups potatoes, diced

1 carrot, sliced

1 tsp instant chicken bouillon

3 cups milk

2 cans corn, drained

½ tsp pepper

3 cups Cheddar cheese

3 Tbsp flour

Fry bacon. Add onions. Brown until bacon is crisp. Stir in water, potatoes, carrots, and bouillon. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes (it goes faster with the lid on). Stir in milk, corn, and pepper. Heat until simmering. Mix cheese and flour and add to soup mixture. Stir constantly until cheese is melted.
