Directions:
Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces. Cook bacon in soup pot until crispy.
While bacon cooks, wash potatoes and cube.
When bacon is crispy, remove bacon pieces and set aside.
To make roux for soup (flour/fat base that provides thickness to soup), you will use 2 T. of bacon grease. If there is too much dump out grease and only use 2 T.
Add 1/3 c. of flour and stir for 30 seconds to 1 min. till grease is soaked up and forms a ball.
Add 2 cans chicken broth. Pour broth into the sizzling pan and watch it deglaze remaining bacon bits.

Add broccoli and corn.
