1 whole Small Onion
2 stalks Celery
3 Tablespoons Butter
1/4 cups Flour
2 cups Chicken Broth
3 whole New Potatoes, Chopped
2 cups Fresh Or Frozen Corn

Directions

1

Fry the bacon in a nice-sized soup pot; break into small pieces and put back in the pot. Add onions and celery, cook until soft. Add and melt butter, then add the flour. Cook for just a few minutes until blended. Add chicken broth, chopped potatoes and fresh or frozen corn. Simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add half-and-half, creamed corn, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper.

Simmer for 30 minutes or so until it gets nice and thick. Again, I like my soup to sit, so when I made it in the morning, I let it simmer for a while and then put it in the fridge until dinner time. You can also do this in the crock pot .
