I am not huge carrot fan, so i shred mine or leave it out and use celery seed for taste rather than celery, so I guess you could add ur corn, I bet a cna of cream corn would relay make it rich and creamier too. I also mkae sure my onion is MINCED. Sometimes seeing I love scheese i will fold in some cheese mm good, or add brocolli too. Love that cheesey taste and its soo creamy mm .(Cheddar, Muenster, Gooda%26lt; Smoky flavors to go with the bacon, montery pepepr jack if u lkike some spice)
Most basic -- peel and cut up the potatoes, cook in chicken broth (if you have it) or water or milk with some salt. Don't use too much of the liquid, let the potatoes cook until soft and the starch starts to thicken the liquid. Before they are mush, take it off the heat and mash or blend it together. Taste and add extra milk or salt if needed. You'll have to adjust the liquid -- you can always take some out before mashing and only add it back if needed.





That's the most basic -- if you have the ingredients, here are some varations: 1) add a bay leaf or two to the cooking liquid, 2) saute some onions or garlic and add it before you simmer the potatoes, 3) add some fresh or dried herbs (thyme or dill would be good), 4) add a little butter before blending, 5) crisp some bacon and add that, 6) add some grated cheddar cheese...





Potatoes are wonderfully versatile. You can even combine some of these variations together.
Simple and REALLY good!!!





Bacon-potato corn chowder


5 - large potato


8 - slices of bacon


1/2 cup - yellow onion


2 - cans of cream of chicken (has to be Campbell鈥檚!)


- milk


1/2 cup - sour cream


1/2 - teaspoon of thyme (Italian seasoning also works)


salt and black pepper to taste





Fry bacon in pot, not fully then add onions. Fry together until almost crisp (or liking). Then add potatoes, fry it all together until soft. Make sure you stir pot with items, don鈥檛 scrap too far into the bottom of the pan, it gets yucky! You don鈥檛 want that in your soup. Once the potatoes have softened add the cans of cream of chicken, stir. Then fill it with milk until potatoes are covered, stir in and let it come to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, turn down and let simmer add sour cream, and rest of the seasonings. Then done! Top with bacon bits, chives, and sour cream, but its optional.
I saw a great recipe at kraft.com
Baked Potato-and-Bacon Soup:





Bake the potatoes and shred the cheese the day before making the soup. If the soup needs to simmer awhile on the stove, you may need to add more chicken broth.

7 bacon slices


4 1/2 cups chopped onion


1 teaspoon salt


5 garlic cloves, minced


1 bay leaf


7 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk


3/4 teaspoon black pepper


3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth


1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)


1 1/4 cups sliced green onions


1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) finely shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese





Preheat oven to 400掳.





Pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400掳 for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly. Partially mash potatoes, including skins, with a potato masher; set aside.





Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion to bacon drippings in pan; saut茅 5 minutes. Add salt, garlic, and bay leaf; saut茅 2 minutes. Add potato, milk, pepper, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in parsley, if desired. Top individual servings with bacon, green onions, and cheese.





Yield: 18 servings (serving size: 1 cup soup, about 1 teaspoon bacon, about 1 tablespoon cheese, and about 1 tablespoon green onions)
