Corn Chowder

With it being cold outside today, I decided it was time to eat a warm soup for dinner! I got this recipe from a close family friend of mine several years ago, and have been making it ever since. Enjoy!

Add to a large pot:

5-6 slices of cooked bacon (I cheat and buy 1-2 packages of already cooked bacon pieces in the ziploc pouches in the salad dressing aisle)
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 cups cooked corn (frozen tastes better for this than cans of corn)
1 cup cooked diced potato (again, I cheat and use a can of the Del Monte diced potatoes)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 1/2 cups milk (the closer to whole milk, the better, but 2% works great)
1 teaspoon salt
pepper, garlic salt, and parsley to taste

Add all of the above ingredients to a large pot and simmer until heated thoroughly and mixed well. Good topped with grated cheese on top too.
