I brought this recipe home with me a couple of years ago after spending several days in a beautiful Amish community. The recipe is designed to feed a lot of people with everyday, farm fresh ingredients. Simple, basic, good, honest food. That's what it's all about.

How To Make amish chicken bacon corn chowder

  • 1
    Fry 4 slices of bacon. When done, drain on paper towels and set aside. Crumble when cool.
  • 2
    Fry chopped onion in bacon drippings. When golden, add flour and stir for one more minute.
  • 3
    Add everything else except for bacon and parsley flakes. Simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until thickened and potatoes are tender. Do not boil or milk can separate.
  • 4
    After 30 minutes, you can take a potato masher and break up a few of the potatoes, if desired or leave them chunky. It's up to you. Add parsley flakes to pot.
  • 5
    Add soup to bowls and garnish with croutons and crumbled bacon. Shredded cheddar and/or green onion tops would be great, too.
