Ingredients:
4 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk or cream
1 Tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
METHOD:
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 Tbsp of bacon fat in the pot.
Add the onion to the pot and cook until translucent, about 5 mins. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more min.
Stir in the corn and diced potatoes. Cook 2–3 mins, then pour in the broth. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 mins, or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in the milk or cream and butter. Simmer for another 5 mins. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with crispy bacon and fresh herbs and serve hot with your favourite loaf.
