The Best Corn Chowder

"This recipe was given to me by a good friend 15 years ago. I have yet to find a better corn chowder recipe. Anytime I am asked to bring a soup to a church social or other event, this is the soup I aways bring. I always double this recipe - a single recipe is never enough."

  • Stir in bacon pieces.
  • Just before serving, add parsley and a generous grind of white pepper (to taste).
