Ingredients

    6 C. sweet corn (I get mine out of my garden)
    12 slices of low sodium bacon
    1/2 C. onion
    1 can of light and fat-free chicken broth
    1 C. of water
    1 C. of half and half
    3 C. of 1% milk
    6 medium potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces
    1/4 t. thyme
    3/4 t. salt
    pepper to taste

Directions


Cook bacon in a 5 qt. Dutch oven. Remove the bacon an drain some of the fat out, but leave some in to saute your onions in. Add the onion to saute until tender and then add the chopped up potatoes and distribute evenly over onions. Then pour in the can of chicken broth and add 1 C. water. Dump corn on top of the potatoes and cover partially with a lid and cook on medium (depending on your stove top) to maintain a low boil. When the potatoes have become tender (I never stir my potatoes and corn mixture while it is simmering) after piercing with a fork, then add milk and half and half and spices. Stir through until warm and serve.
