Soup's On!

This is an amazing creation that came to me when I got home from my Thursday night class. Mark was feeling sick, so this hit the spot.

Potato Corn Chowder

2 Tbsp butter
1 small onion-diced
4 medium red potatoes-diced
1 can (1 2/3 cups) chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp celery seed (optional)
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp chives
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
1/3 cup bacon bits
dash cayenne pepper

Saute onion in butter on medium until soft.

Add potatoes and chicken broth; simmer on high for 15 minutes.

Add corn; continue to simmer on high for 5 minutes

Whisk flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed into milk. Add to soup. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add cheese, bacon, chives and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

Enjoy!

No, seriously do.
