Corn and Cheese Chowder

My kids take turns helping me prepare dinner. I thought I'd share one

of our favorite recipes. Dallas helped me make Corn and Cheese Chowder. This is a perfect winter meal. Ingredients: 4 Tbsp butter 1 whole onion, diced 3 slices bacon,cut into pieces 3 bell peppers ( I use red, yellow and orange sweet peppers) 1/4 cup all purpose flour 3 cups chicken broth 2 cups half and half 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese 1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese 1/3 cup sliced green onions Directions: In a loarge pot, melt butter over medium high heat. Saute onions for a couple of minutes. Add cooked bacon and cook for another minute. Than add diced peppers and saute for a couple more minutes. Finally add corn and saute for 1 min. Sprinkle flour evenlyover the top and stir to combine. Pour in broth and stir well. Allow this to thicken for 3-4 min, then reduce heat to low. Stir in half and half then cover and allow to simmer/thicken for 15 min. Stir in cheeses and green onions. When cheese is melted and soup is hot, check seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in bread bowls.
