Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 lb bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, diced small
  • 3-4 lbs potatoes, cut into l or 2-inch pieces
  • 1 lb frozen corn
  • water (enough to cover the potatoes when added)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley (optional)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream or evaporated milk (heavy cream is best)
  • ½ cup milk
Instructions
  1. Add the sliced bacon to a large soup pot and begin sautéing it over medium-high heat.
  2. When bacon is halfway cooked, add the diced onion and continue cooking until onion is translucent.
  3. Add potatoes and cover just barely with water.
  4. Add salt and pepper.
  5. Let potatoes come to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.
  6. Add the frozen corn halfway through the potatoes' cooking time.
  7. Next, add the parsley, heavy cream and milk. Simmer for 3-5 more minutes.
  8. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
  9. Using a stirring spoon, smash a few of the potato pieces to cause the soup to thicken a bit more.
  10. Serve with your favorite bread or rolls, and if desired, some shredded cheese. We love to eat it with this Easy French Bread.
