Corn Chowder

My husband and i took a trip to tennessee where we had some of the best food. One of the soups we had was corn chowder, it was soooo good that i had to come home and try to make my own. Here is my version -- hope you like it.

Steps

Fry bacon in pan , crumble and set aside.
Add onions and celery to bacon grease , saut until lightly browned.
Transfer onion / celery mixture to a large soup pan.
Add cream corn , frozen corn , red pepper , butter , broth , chicken base , carrots , potatoes and pimentos.
Cook for 30 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Mix together flour and a little water to form a paste.
Add flour paste to soup add milk.
You may want to add more flour paste , depending on how thick you like your chowder.
Simmer for 30 minutes or until you are ready to eat.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Prior to serving i like to add shredded cheese and sprinkle bacon on top.
