Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slice(s) canadian bacon, in thin strips
4 cup(s) lettuce, shredded
1 cup(s) corn
3 tablespoon(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2" chunks
1 quart(s) milk
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Cook bacon in a large, preferably non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add 3 cups of the milk, the potatoes, onion, salt and pepper; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
While potatoes cook, whisk 1/2 cup of the remaining milk with the flour until blended; stir milk mixture into soup along with the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and the corn.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Add romaine - or other crisp lettuce - and tomatoes and cook 1 minute longer, or until lettuce is wilted.
