This is one of those recipes that sounded really good, it was just okay, but I would make it again if I needed something easy & fast. Nathan liked it more than I did – not that I thought it was bad…it just felt very Sandra Lee-ish, and I am not a fan of her.
Anyway, like I said it isn’t bad…and I’m posting it because it worked great for how busy we ended up on Tuesday. We didn’t get to eat until after 8:00 PM, so anything that took longer than 15 minutes was out of the question.
Corn Chowder {from RealSimple.com}
Ingredients:
- 4 slices Oscar Meyer Ready to Serve Bacon
- 1 10 3/4-ounce can condensed Cream of Potato soup
- 1 cup low-fat or whole milk
- 1 11-ounce can corn niblets
Directions:
- Heat the bacon for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave; set aside.
- Pour the cream of potato soup into a saucepan. Add the milk and corn. Break up the cooked bacon into small pieces, then stir it into the saucepan. Heat for 5 minutes or until the soup reaches a simmer.
Grade: C+
Comments: It tastes like condensed soup with corn in it. I wasn’t impressed, but it wasn’t really bad. Like I said in the beginning it was simple, quick, and it got dinner on the table on a night when we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off. I could see this being a good meal if you had one kid who had baseball practice, another who had dance class, and you had a book club meeting. I’ll probably make it again, but only on a night when we’re really busy.
