Corn Chowder With Fingerling Potatoes & Smoked Bacon image

Found it here: http://wellfed.typepad.com/well_fed/2007/09/corn-chowder-wi.html Super good comfort food! Please use fresh corn, as it is much sweeter than frozen. Would be great with a nice piece of bread. You may want to cut back on the cayenne pepper, as 1/4 tbsp is quite a lot.

This corn chowder is a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some corn on the cob that was starting to go bad, so I decided to make this chowder. It turned out great! The chowder was creamy and flavorful, and the corn was still sweet and juicy.
