This Canadian Corn Chowder is a creamy and flavorful soup filled with tender corn kernels, potatoes, bacon, and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness. It's a perfect dish for cozying up by the fire on a chilly evening.

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups frozen corn kernels
• 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

1. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
