Last week I highlighted a Minestrone Soup that snuck in a lot of vegetables and this week I’ve got a yummy soup that is made out of pantry items and can be on the table in 15 minutes.
On a Monday night, 15 minutes is usually all I want to invest in a yummy dinner.
Small one is addicted to soup and even on days that she fussy or not an eating machine I can guarantee that she will still be happy with soup.
She is also always happy with the side dish that I’ll show you below.
I started with 3 pieces of bacon and a small leek chopped (a small onion would be just as nice).
Add in 1 can of corn (8 oz), 2 cans (8 oz each) of creamed corn, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 cup milk, pepper to taste and 1 T. chicken concentrate (either a stock cube or the liquid concentrate is perfect for this).
Simmer for 5 minutes until all the ingrients are melded together and…
serve with a bacon bunny (melted cheese and bacon on toast). My mom made us bacon bunnies at least once a week growing up and although I tart it up with good cheddar and homemade bread I still sometimes have a hankering for Kraft slices and Wonder Bread. Funny what your taste buds yearn for.

Hmmmm looks good! My 7 year old requests chowder ALL THE TIME, and I make it for him once a week too (seafood kind). I’m going to try your recipe next time – thanks!!
I hope he is just as keen on this one. So quick and pennies/bowl.
Oh, this looks absolutely delicious. I love corn chowder.
Hope you love this one C:
I grew up eating “cheese toast” and it’s still a favorite comfort food. LOVE the addition of the bacon…and calling it a “bacon bunny”! Thanks for the great chowder recipe, too.
So glad that you like the looks of it. Cheese Toast is always welcome in our house (well, especially with bacon). I don’t know where the ‘bunny’ part came from but that’s what mom always called them so I just can’t argue then can I? C:
