5 stalks celery chopped
3 C of frozen corn
5 potatoes chopped into bite size pieces and boiled 8 minutes (red skin..firmer potates)
2 qt containers of 1/2 & 1/2 , + 1/2 gal of milk
1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese
2 tbl spoons of dill
1 tbl red pepper flake


Boil the walleye fillets in water for approximately 5-10 minutes (fillets will be flaky and falling apart). Drain and set aside.
Cook Bacon till crisp! and set aside, using the same large pot.. (save and use some of the bacon grease) add the oinions and hunk of butter and cook till clear/browned.. deglaze with 1/2 can of beer. add corn, milk/cream etc to a simmer.
allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Don’t allow this to boil or you will burn the cream in the soup. Break walleye into spoon sized chunks and add to the soup. add the crisp bacon just before serving..
