Linda's Corn Chowder

2 slices diced raw bacon
1 med onion, chopped
4 med potatoes, peeled, chopped
3 cup chicken broth
2 cup corn
3 cup milk (2%)
3 T butter

Cook bacon slowly until fat melts. Pour off fat. Add onion, cook until tender. Add potatoes and broth, cover and cook until potatoes are tender. Add corn and milk cook low for 5 min. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Add potato flakes before serving (to thicken the liquid- I like it really thick so I add more).
