Corn Chowder With Fingerling Potatoes & Smoked Bacon Recipe #372786
Found it here: http://wellfed.typepad.com/well_fed/2007/09/corn-chowder-wi.html Super good comfort food! Please use fresh corn, as it is much sweeter than frozen. Would be great with a nice piece of bread. You may want to cut back on the cayenne pepper, as 1/4 tbsp is quite a lot.
