Summer Corn, Bacon, and Potato Chowder

I made this wonderful chowder for dinner tonight and wanted to share it with you all!  It is a Weight Watchers recipe that I tweeked a bit.  I had it solo and Eristeo coupled it with a few deli turkey sliders.  It was so yummy, filling, and nutritious that I wanted to pass it on.  I hope you enjoy!

2 cloves garlic minced
2 stalks uncooked celery, chopped
