Creamy Chicken Corn Chowder

This recipe is a great way to use up left-over chicken. I always keep bacon in the freezer for the purpose of making soup.

 Buy a pack of bacon and separate it into portions of 3 strips. Wrap each portion separately and freeze. They cut easily when they're frozen if you use a sharp knife.

Creamy Chicken Corn Chowder
Makes 8 servings

 Ingredients
  • 3 slices bacon diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1/2 red pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 medium potato diced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 3 cups homemade (or low sodium) chicken broth
  • 1 can corn (about 1 cup)
  • 6 oz cooked chicken breast diced
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 1/4 cup fresh cilantro if you like it)
Directions
