Cheesy Corn Chowder

It is the perfect time of year for soup.  I decided to make Pioneer Woman's cheesy corn chowder for Halloween night.  I made it last night and it was super delicious!  The only thing missing was the bread bowl.  Should have taken her recommendation, I definitely will next time.  

If your looking for a great soup you must try this awesome cheesy corn chowder!

Directions:

In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat.  Cook onions for a couple of minutes.  Add bacon and cook for another minute or so, then add diced bell peppers and cook for a couple of minutes.  Finally, add corn and cook for a minute. 

Sprinkle flour evenly over the top and stir to combine.  Pour broth and stir well.  Allow this to thicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then reduce heat to low.  Stir in half-and-half, then cover and allow to simmer/thicken for 15 minutes or so.

Ladle into hollowed out boules and serve immediately!
