Potato chowder with Canadian bacon

This tasty chowder gets lots of fantastic flavor from Canadian bacon and fresh scallions. We used frozen peppers and potatoes to slash prep time. This chowder comes together in just half an hour. It also features green bell peppers as well as evaporated milk and skim milk instead of calorie-laden cream. You only need to use one large saucepan, which makes cleanup a breeze. We recommend using an immersion blender here for the best and thickest texture, but you can purée the soup in a regular blender as well if you don't happen to have one. You'll love having this comforting soup simmering away on the stovetop on a chilly winter night.
