Potato Corn Chowder

1 medium uncooked red potatoes
 1/2 cup uncooked celery, chopped 
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 bag of frozen corn
1 sweet red pepper (about 1 cup)
4 oz uncooked Canadian-style bacon, diced 
2 cups chopped baby spinach
2 cups fat-free skim milk
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste 
½- 1 cup chicken stock







Pierce potato in several places with a fork; microwave on high power until tender, turning over once, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool; mash. (You can peel this before mashing, but I like potato skins so I left mine on)
Meanwhile, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray. Add celery, onion, corn and red pepper; sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.Stir bacon, spinach and milk into saucepan; stir in mashed potato and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; stir to combine. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, do not boil . Thin with chicken stock if necessary.
