  • 1 medium Onion sauté until translucent

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Start by chopping the onion and dicing the potatoes into small cubes.
  2. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
  3. Using the remaining bacon grease, sauté the onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Add the corn and heavy cream, stirring well. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Crumble the bacon back into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days. Reheat gently on low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if it thickens too much.
