Potato and Bacon Chowder

I love chowders and this one has a lemony taste to it. Give it a try!

You will need:

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 garlic clove
• 3-4 large gold potatoes
• 2 sticks of celery, ribs peeled,
• 1 small carrot, chopped small
• pinch of salt/pepper
• zest from one lemon
• 5-6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 2 cups whole kernal corn (off cob or drained canned corn)
• 3/4 cup whipping cream
• fresh dill, chopped
• Cook bacon until crisp and crumble. Set aside.

In a large pot combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes (until tender) and liquid has reduced  and thickened a little. Add the lemon zest and cream, continuing to simmer for about 5 minutes. At this point do not bring to a full boil.

Serve in a pretty bowl and garnish with the bacon and a touch of  fresh dill.
