Spicy Bacon Tater n Corn Chowder Soup.

Ok so I found this recipe sans bacon and taters on my calendar...and thought...hmmm I should give it a try. 

The very first time I made it it was without the bacon and potato...and it was the easier soup I've ever made.

So after that I thought hmmm bacon n taters would be a delicious addition to this recipe and voila!

Enjoy!
