Description

"My husband, Greg, and I cook together a lot," writes Sara Hainsworth of Frederick, Maryland, "which is fun and makes weeknight dinners and cooking for friends easier to manage now that we're starting our own family. I worked before our son, William, was born, but as my husband says, William is my boss now. So I count on quick, dependably good dishes like this more than ever."

Ingredients

1/2 pound (about 8 slices) bacon, coarsely chopped
1 6-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
2 small bay leaves
2 cups milk
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels
1 14 3/4-ounce can creamed corn
1 1/4 cups canned vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves
1/4 teaspoon (or more) hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. Sauté bacon in heavy large pot over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pot. Add potato, onion, celery, and bay leaves to pot. Sauté over medium-high heat until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add milk, frozen corn kernels, creamed corn, and vegetable broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer chowder until potato is tender, about 15 minutes. Add celery leaves, 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, and bacon. Simmer chowder uncovered until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and more hot pepper sauce, if desired.
