Amish Bacon & Corn Chowder

Well, it is a typical Illinois winter. Last weekend it was 60+degrees, beautiful. This week we had lots of freezing rain and snow. Definitely time for some more comfort food. What better way to warm up than Amish Corn Chowder. Not far from our home is an Amish community, and some of the best cooks around! While this soup isn't very pretty, it is very tasty!
