This bacon and sweetcorn chowder recipe is from the Olive magazine website.  

The end result is a creamy, hearty soup that's packed with sweetcorn, potato and crisp bacon. Made with milk rather than cream, it's also surprisingly low in calories. A quick warming supper for two and is easily doubled if you need to make more.

Tip

  • This bacon and sweetcorn chowder recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for more people - I doubled it to make it for 4.
