DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Saute celery and onion in drippings until onion is lightly browned. Add potatoes and water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir in corn, milk, sausage, dill and bacon. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Great soup. All the flavors really worked - I was leery of the dill, but yum! Simple to prepare, and frozen leftovers reheated well.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I love dill, but it just didn't seem to go well with this chowder, if fact some of the other ingredients didn't work well with it either. The bacon got soggy and the evaporated milk made it a bit to sweet. Will not make it again.

We liked this recipe a lot. I would probably make this again. It was like a cross between a rich potato soup and a corn chowder. Even my husband liked it though he isn't a "corn fan". One thing I'd do differently is cut the sausage link into smaller, more bite size pieces. I wasn't sure if the recipe called for the big kielbasa type link or the lil' smokies. I sliced 1/2 of a large beef smoked sausage link and wished I cut my 1/4 inch slices into halves. There are so many many nice ingredients in this chowder I wanted to get a bit of each on the soup spoon but the round slices of sausage were too large.
