Place oil then bacon in pot. Turn stove onto medium high heat then cook until bacon is golden on both sides.

Remove bacon and chop once cooled.

If there's loads of excess fat in the pot, drain some.

Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds. Add creamed corn, kernels, chicken stock, milk, potato, salt and pepper.

Stir, bring to simmer then adjust to medium. Simmer 5 minutes until potato is just tender.

Soup Thickener: Mix together milk and cornflour, then pour into soup.

Stir and simmer for 1 minute until it thickens into a creamy soup (see video for thickness).

Add more salt if needed.

Ladle into bowls, top with green onion and bacon. Devour!
