Corn Chowder

Ingredients:
10 slices bacon, chopped
4 ears of fresh corn or 4 cups corn kernels
1/2 onion, chopped
1 1/2 pounds small assorted fingerlings, or large Russian Bananas sliced into 1 inch pieces
1/2 butternut squash, cubed
2 red bell peppers chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 cup flour
5 cups chicken stock 
To Taste salt and pepper

Directions:
In a large stock pot over medium high heat add bacon, render out the fat and then remove cooked bacon pieces.  Set aside until later.  Add onion and peppers let sautee for about 5 minutes, then add potatoes, squash, cumin, salt and pepper sautee for another 10 minutes then add flour.  Stir the flour into the vegetables and add chicken stock.  Reduce heat to a simmer.  The soup has a thickening agent in it at this point so be sure to stir so it does not burn.  Add your corn, and if you are using fresh corn on the cob place the cobs in the pot of soup so that the flavor and milks from the cob can be extracted.  Cook until the vegetables are tender.
