Spinach and Corn Chowder image

Easy and rich chowder, definitely not low cal. We have a large family and love soup, so this recipe makes a lot. I made this up on the spot when we needed a soup course one day and it worked great! Enjoy!

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
2 hot red peppers, dried (optional)
3 tablespoons flour
8 cups vegetable stock (or 8 cups water and 4 Tbsp stock powder) or 8 cups chicken stock (or 8 cups water and 4 Tbsp stock powder)

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The chowder was still delicious!
