Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Fry bacon until crisp (see Homemade Fresh Bacon Bits for homemade bacon bit tips). Remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve bacon grease.
  2. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in a large dutch oven in water; do not add salt! Drain.
  3. Pour reserved bacon grease into empty dutch oven; saute onion and garlic in reserved bacon grease until onion is lightly browned.
  4. Add flour to the sauted onion mixture, stirring to evenly brown; add cream and stir constantly until mixture thickens; add chicken broth and stir until bubbly.
  5. Stir potatoes, corn and crumbled bacon into the soup; add butter, salt and pepper to taste. (you may not need salt. Bacon is very salty) Simmer until butter is melted and stirred into soup.
  6. Add milk at little at a time if soup is too thick for your tastes.
