Directions:
Directions:
In large stock pot, cook bacon until almost crisp, then remove from pot to save for later.

Saute potatoes, onion, celery & peppers in butter and remaining bacon grease until tender. Add enough water or chicken broth to cover veggies completely. Mix cornmeal with enough cold water so it will not be lumpy and add to soup.

Simmer one hour. Be sure to stir every once and awhile. You may need to add a little more liquid from time to time to keep from scorching.

When ready to serve, add remaining ingredients.

Serve with lots of good sourdough bread and butter!
