"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
* 8 ounces bacon, chopped
* 1/4 cup good olive oil
* 6 cups chopped yellow onions (4 large onions)
* 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup flour
* 2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 12 cups chicken stock
* 6 cups medium-diced white boiling potatoes, unpeeled (2 pounds)
* 10 cups corn kernels, fresh (10 ears) or frozen (3 pounds)
* 2 cups half-and-half
* 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
Directions:
Directions:
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and olive oil until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and butter to the fat, and cook for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.) Add the corn to the soup, then add the half-and-half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a garnish of bacon.

Personal Notes:
I used pre-cooked bacon to cut the time down in prep. It makes A LOT so it's great for freezing half, or for a potluck.
