Directions

1. In a saucepan, pan fry bacon until cooked crisp. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to drain. Keep about 2 Tbs. bacon fat in the pan and save the rest for future cooking!
2. To the bacon fat, add the onion and peppers, sautéing until soft (about 5-6 minutes).
3. Add the chicken broth and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are almost completely cooked.
4. Add corn, coconut milk, parsley, salt & pepper and cook for another 5-6 minutes. *If you like your chowder super thick, mix 1 Tbs. cornstarch or arrowroot starch in a little extra coconut milk, whisk, and then add to the chowder pot, stirring for a few more minutes until thickened.
5. Pour soup into bowls and top with lots of crumbled bacon!
