What to do:
- Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble and set aside. Add celery mixture and 1 package of corn to drippings in pan; sauté 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Place the remaining package of corn and 1 cup of milk in a blender, and process until smooth. Add pureed mixture to vegetables in pan; stir in remaining 1 cup of milk, salt, black pepper, and cheese. Cook over medium heat (do not boil), stirring constantly, until cheese melts. Ladle chowder into bowls. Top each serving evenly with reserved crumbled bacon. Sprinkle with additional black pepper, if desired.
