2 cups sweet white corn

In a pot, heat 2 Tbs of olive oil. Add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bacon, Thyme and Rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the bacon is crispy. Add the flour and stir until it's crumbly. Add the water until mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the milk and the chicken base and stir till base is dissolved.

How to get the best sandwich meat: Go to the deli at your favorite store, and find your favorite type of meat. Tell them how much you want and they'll slice it for you. 

I love avocados...to be honest, I'm pretty much living off of them. I fry the bacon in the oven because it's the fastest, easiest way to do it.
