2 large potatoes, diced
4 cups frozen corn kernels
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes

In a large pot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan, and set aside. Drain all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan.
Saute the onions in the bacon fat. Add broth and the potato to the pot. Cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add corn, chicken, and thyme. Cover. Simmer until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
