                    Our church eats together every Sunday, and that's where I got this recipe. Farmland surrounds us, so this recipe with its flavorful vegetables represents our area well. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 bacon strips  |  
                                                1 cup chopped onion  |  
                                                2 cups water  |  
                                                1-1/2 cups diced peeled potatoes  |  
                                                1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules  |  
                                                1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour  |  
                                                2 cups milk, divided  |  
                                                1 cup half-and-half cream  |  
                                                1 package (16 ounces) frozen corn  |  
                                                8 ounces process american cheese (velveeta), cubed  |  
                                                salt and pepper to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. In the drippings, saute onion until tender. Add water, potatoes and bouillon; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. 2. In a small bowl, combine flour and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Add the flour mixture, cream, corn and remaining milk to soup; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add cheese and bacon. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: 6-8 servings (about 2 quarts).                              |
