Corn and Chicken Chowder
"Every August my Grandmother and her cousin would use our farm grown sweet corn to make corn chowder seasoned with lots of bacon and onions. I adapted a recipe from Cooking Light magazine for a lighter version, one that adds chicken and cheese. My family loves it and I often keep it warm in a slow cooker to be served at work potlucks. "
