Cheddar Corn Chowder

This makes a great dinner, and reheats very well. My wife and i eat this for several days after we make it and we are still sad when it runs out.

Cook the bacon in the olive oil , pour the grease into a stock pot and set the bacon aside.

Over medium heat , add onions and butter to the bacon grease.

Cook 10 min or until onions are translucent.

While onions are cooking , add 6 bouillon cubes to 6 cups water and bring to a boil until cubes dissolve.

Stir in flour , salt , pepper , and turmeric.

Cook 3 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and potatoes to the onions , simmer uncovered 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

If using fresh corn , cut off kernels and blanch for 3 min in boiling salted water.

Add corn , half-and-half , and cheddar.

Cook until cheese is melted.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with bacon.
