  Corn Chowder with Chilies
Ingredients:
  2 slices   bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  2 tablespoons   butter
  1 whole   yellow onion, chopped
  5 ears   corn, shucked
  2 whole   chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely diced
  1 can   diced green chilies (4 oz)
  32 ounces   low sodium chicken broth
  1.50 cup   heavy whipping cream
  1/2 teaspoon   kosher salt
  3 tablespoons   corn meal
  1/4 cup   water
Directions:
  (Carefully) slice the corn kernels off the cob. Set aside.

Add bacon pieces to a pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes. Throw in diced onion and stir, cooking the onion for 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter and melt. Add corn. Stir and cook for one minute. Add both kinds of chilies and stir.

Pour in chicken broth and cream. Add salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.

Combine cornmeal (or masa) with water. Stir to combine, then pour into the chowder. Cover and cook for 15 minutes over low heat. If chowder needs more thickening, add another tablespoon of cornmeal mixed with water. Cook for another ten minutes.
Serve with crusty sourdough bread or in a bread bowl.
