I'm (corny) bacon.

Sarah picked number 7. (Thanks, Sarah!) The seventh card in the pile was...

"Easy Corn Chowder" (6 quart pot)

~2 (14 1/2 oz) cans chicken broth
~1 (16 oz) bag frozen corn, thawed
~3 small red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
~1 red bell pepper, diced
~1 onion, diced
~1 celery stalk, sliced
~1/2 t salt
~1/2 t pepper
~1/4 t ground coriander
~1/2 c heavy cream
~8 slices of bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled

Place broth, corn, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, celery, salt, pepper, and coriander in crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Partially mash soup mixture with a potato masher to thicken.
Stir in cream.
Cook on high, uncovered, until hot.
To serve, sprinkle on bacon.

6 servings.

Baby Liam and his mommie and daddie (Hi Kate and Dan!) joined us for dinner last night. Chowder was new to most of us. I'd never made one before. I'm not entirely sure I've ever HAD one before. We all thought it was yummy. Admittedly, I was super excited to see that bacon was one of the ingredients. Mmm...bacon. I'd happily make a chowder again. ESPECIALLY if there's bacon involved.

P.S. Santa bought this for my little helper this year:
