Bacon Potato Chowder - Ginny Seng

8 slices bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces  
1 cup chopped onions
2 cups cubed (½ inch) potatoes       
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 can cream of chicken soup           
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream                                                
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1¼ cup milk                                         
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. thyme

Combine bacon, onions, potatoes and garlic with ½ cup water, then cook on medium to medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Watch water amount towards end of cooking time...there needs to be just enough water to prevent scorching, so add a bit more if it becomes necessary.  Add remaining ingredients and heat through...simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.  Tips:  Double this recipe for a round or two of leftovers...the flavor seems to improve with a day or two in the fridge anyway.  If the recipe is made with regular bacon, begin by heating the bacon through for 4 or 5 minutes before adding onions, potatoes and garlic, but be sure to omit the water!!
