1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn*
1 1/2 cups milk
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoons sugar

Note: Above is the recipe I used when raising a family – doubled and/or tripled or larger.
(You might like to add some butter, but you do have the bacon grease in recipe.)
Note: Some recipes calls for red or green bell pepper sautéed with onion. Also, carrots and celery. And for New England Chowder you can add 1 can chopped clams or 1 cup chopped fresh clams.
