Cheddar & Corn Chowder With Bacon Soup image

I got this recipe from the Lifestyle Cooking Channel in Australia - and made it on a regular basis throughout winter. You can tweak a bit to suit your tastes. I add some vegetable stock to it when it needs thinning out a bit and I also add some basil and mixed herbs, but that is my personal taste. It is a rich soup, very filling and moreish.

8 slices bacon (Chopped)
2 large onions (Peeled And Chopped)
2 stalks celery (Chopped)
