Sweet Corn Chowder (serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup dried sweet corn
• 2 teaspoons dried onions
• 10 cups water
• 2/3 cup powdered milk
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons bacon bits (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour (mixed with 1/2 cup of water)

Soak the corn and onion in the water until re-hydrated. Add milk, oil, bacon bits, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Mix the flour in the 1/2 cup of water and slowly add to the soup to thicken it. Cook on low until it thickens, and the corn is tender. About another 15 minutes.
