Barstow's Longview Farm's Cheddar-Corn Chowder

To make 8 servings of cheddar corn chowder, begin by cooking chopped bacon slices in a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and reserve drippings in Dutch oven. 

Melt Cabot Salted Butter in hot drippings. Add chopped onion, stirring occasionally and cooking until tender, about 8 minutes. 

Stir in flour, salt, pepper and turmeric and cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and diced, unpeeled white potato. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat and simmer until potato is just tender, for about 18 minutes. 

Stir in corn, shredded Cabot Sharp Cheddar and half-and-half. Bring to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Be careful not to boil. 

Season with salt and pepper and then ladle into soup bowls. Top with bacon, shredded cheddar and, if preferred, sliced green onions.
