Heat the bacon in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until bacon fat is rendered and the meat firming but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tbs of butter, carrots, celery and onions. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the flour and stir to make a lightly brown roux.
Meanwhile, combine the corn, potatoes, thyme and chicken stock in another saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the boiling stock with the corn (a little at a time) into the saucepan with the roux, whisking briskly so it doesn't lump. Return the skillet to the heat and bring to a boil. the mixture should become very thick.
Add the can of evaporated milk to empty saucepan (you can use the pan you boiled the corn in) and gently heat; stir it into the thick corn mixture. Add the chicken, nutmeg and salt & pepper to taste.
