I'll have another later but this is one I love of Shirley Fry's ( a coach of the
University of Iowa) SHIRLEY'S IOWA CORN CHOWDER

5 slices of bacon
1 med onion, sliced and separated into rings
2 1/2 cups of milk
2 cups of frozen corn
1 10 1/2 ounce can dondensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup diced potato, cooked

1 - In a large saucepan, cook bacon til crisp. Remove; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon. Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons drippings in saucepan.
2 - Cook onion rings in reserved drippings til tender. Stir in the milk, corn, soup and potato.
3 - Bring mixture to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat . Season to taste with salt. Top each bowl of chowder
with bacon. Makes 5 1/2 cups of soup. Easy and delicious on a cold fall
day.
