Recipe - Corn And Zucchini Chowder

One fourth pound Bacon; dice
1 Yellow onion; dice
1 cup Tomatoes; seed, dice
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
1 pound Zucchini; 1/2" cubes
2 cup Corn kernels
One half cup Rice
6 cup Vegetable stock
1 cup Milk
Salt and pepper

In a large stock pot, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and
drain on paper towels. In the same pot, add the onion and saute until soft.
Stir in the tomatoes, thyme, zucchini, and corn kernels. Cook 2 minutes and
then add the rice. Stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring
the soup to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Remove 1 cup of
the soup and place in a blender. Add the milk to the blender and puree
until smooth. Add the puree back into the soup pot and stir to combine.
Stir in the bacon and serve hot. Source: Home and Family. MM Waldine Van
