Directions

Canadian bacon gives a nice smoky flavor with a lot less fat (2 grams per ounce) than regular bacon (13⅘ grams). This unusual soup is a complete meal, which even includes a salad! 4 slices (2 oz) Canadian bacon, cut in thin strips 1 quart skim milk 2 medium size potatoes, peeled and cut in ½ inch chunks (2 cups) 1 cup chopped onion ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper 3 tbsp all purpose flour 1 cup fresh, frozen or canned corn kernels 4 cups coarsely shredded romaine or other crisp lettuce 1 large ripe tomato, coarsely chopped (1-½ cups) Cook bacon until lightly browned. Add 3 cups milk, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper, and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5-7 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Whisk ½ cup of the remaining milk with the flour until blended. Stir this mixture into soup along with the remaining ½ cup milk and the corn. Bring back up to boil, then reduce heat once more to simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add romaine lettuce and tomatoes and cook for about 1 minute or just until lettuce is wilted. Makes 8-½ cups, 4 servings.
