Ingredients

22 Corn and Tomato Chowder
2 T. celery, minced
2 T. bell pepper, minced
3 T. onion, minced
2 Potatoes, peeled and diced
3 Tomatoes, skinned and chopped
2 Cups corn (use fresh or frozen)
1 cups Water
4 Cups milk
23 Cottage Cheese and

Directions

1
Chop bacon into small pieces if not already chopped.
2
Place a large soup pot over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until slightly browned and crispy, rendering the fat.
3
Add the minced celery, bell pepper, and onion to the pot with the bacon. SautÃÂ©, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, ensuring they do not stick to the bottom.
4
Remove excess grease with paper towels if desired, but leave enough for flavor.
5
Add the diced potatoes, chopped tomatoes, and corn to the pot along with 1 cup of water.
6
Stir to combine all ingredients, then cover the pot. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7
Stir in the milk and cottage cheese. Heat gently until the soup is hot but just below a boil; do not let it boil vigorously to prevent curdling.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Note

Do not let the soup boil vigorously after adding the milk and cottage cheese, as this will cause the dairy to curdle. Keep the heat low and gentle.

You can use fresh or frozen corn. If using frozen, there is no need to thaw it before adding to the pot.

For a richer flavor, consider using chicken or pork broth instead of water.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.

This soup freezes well, but the texture of the cottage cheese may change slightly upon thawing. Stir well when reheating.
