Creole Corn Chowder image

Spicy and sweet - a delicious twist on traditional corn chowder. From Joe Simmer's Creole Slow Cookin' cookbook with a few changes for our tastes. I often dice the vegetables (except carrots and potatoes which I chop while the bacon is cooking) the day before cooking to save time. It's a lot of chopping but sooooo worth it! Enjoy!

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more broth next time.

I was skeptical about the combination of corn and bacon, but this chowder was surprisingly delicious! The sweetness of the corn balanced out the saltiness of the bacon perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
