Cook potatoes in salted water. Drain off most of the water but reserve to thin soup later.

In separate pan, sautee onions in 2 Tbsp butter. Add to potatoes in pot after you have drained off most of water. Add two cans cream corn, plus chopped bacon and 3 Tblsp of reserved bacon grease. Add broth and about 2 cups potatoe water, more if you want yours soup thinner. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to slow boil and simmer 10 minutes.
