Gluten Free Bacon, Corn and Potato Chowder

This gluten free bacon, corn, and potato chowder is my gluten free version of one my Dad makes.

It’s been cool in the morning and evening in AZ so I was craving my Bacon Corn and Potato Chowder.  It’s the perfect comfort food.  I made this version dairy free because our oldest daughter can’t eat dairy and I am giving her some of it to take home   Our whole family has been cutting back on dairy actually.  I find my seasonal allergies are better when I don’t eat a lot of it, and since I cook everyone else gets to follow along.

I love chowder when the weather is cool.  It is so filling and warm.  My Dad used to make a version of this when I was growing up.   It stands out in my mind because my Mom did most of the cooking when I was younger, but I remember him making chowder.  So, part of my love for it is nostalgic and part of it is just because it tastes so yummy.

If you are feeding a crowd, this is a great recipe to double and you can feed a lot of people.  Pair it with a big green salad and or hot biscuits and voila you have a perfect meal.  In fact, let me know when you are making it and I will come over.  haha!
