Healthy Mexican Corn Chowder

Hearty and satisfying, this pretty Mexican corn chowder soup is a family favorite, even the kids love it! If you are cooking for the family, use a larger saucepan and double all the ingredients up! You will notice I blend half the cooked corn into the broth, allowing the chowder to still retain plenty of texture by having the remaining corn left whole. And you will love the green bell pepper and bacon addition!
