Cook

Step 1. Cook Bacon in a large pot over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Step 2. Add Olive Oil, Onion and Celery to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes; add Garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3. Stir in All-Purpose Flour and cook until it coats the vegetables, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in Chicken Broth, scraping the bottom of the pot.
Step 4. Add Potato, Thyme, Salt and Black Pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 5. Add Chicken Breast and Corn. Simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside and the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
Step 6. Stir in Milk and heat gently until steaming, about 2 minutes; do not boil. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then remove from the heat.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Ladle into bowls and top with the reserved bacon and Chives, if using.
