I made this last night, just because it sounded interesting. Wow was this good! DH doesn't even like creamed corn and he said this was really good.I left out the celery salt because DH doesn't like it. Even so,it was delicious. He asked me to make it again..... so guess what he's having along with a salad for lunch. Thanks for a quick, easy and inexpensive meal.

This is a really great and quick soup to make. The bacon really adds a nice flavoring to the roux. The only change I made was to add 2 tsp of sugar with the corn to sweeten it (we love sweet corn). Thanks for another keeper!

Excellent flavor combination. This was so smooth and crunching at the same time. I really was expecting it to be more yellow because of the corn. I made as posted with the exception of using a 14.5 oz can of cream-style corn because...I guess the 16 oz is no longer being made...Just another way to keep the cost of food down. We really enjoyed this for a light lunch. Thanks for posting. :)

Made this for our lunch yesterday with a sandwich and it was delicious. The only thing I did differently was to saute some finely chopped celery (out of celery salt) with the onions but I followed the rest of the ingredients and directions. This is one I will make quite often. I have the ingredients always (except celery salt I guess) on hand. Thank you! Made for Zaar Alphabet Tag game.
