“This Bacon Corn Chowder is a definite favorite and tradition, especially around the holidays. Mom would make this soup along with another family favorite, White Chicken Chili, every Christmas Eve, enjoyed with warm garlic bread sticks and a veggie platter. Now that my two brothers and I have families of our own and live states apart, we always try to make it back “home” for the holidays. Amidst all of the noise, hustle and bustle and clatter, the warm smell of soup and home bring a sense of comfort and family togetherness like nothing else can. It’s our family favorite, and we are thankful to have such a tradition.”
