Corn Chowder

This is Justin's mom's recipe and one of his favorite dinners ever.  It's super easy (like 30 minutes start to finish) and is perfect for a cold day.

Makes about 6 servings

1 lb. bacon, cut into one-inch pieces (or less bacon, if you prefer)
1 onion, chopped
3 large potatoes, cut into cubes
2 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cans of canned corn, with water
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. water
Paprika

Brown bacon in large pot.  Let drain on paper towel.  Drain all but 2 tbs of bacon grease.  Brown the onion in bacon grease.  Add the chopped potatoes, 2 cups water, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.  Add corn with liquid and canned milk.   Mix 1/4 cup flour in 1/2 cup of water until smooth.  Add to soup.  Add the bacon and sprinkle with paprika.

I make a soup almost exactly like this, but your recipe is easier. I think I'll try this one next time.
