Method
1. Place a big saucepan or hob-proof casserole dish over the medium heat. Add a dash of oil and fry the onion until softened. Add the bacon and then cook until lightly coloured. Stir inside the bay leaves.
2. Add the potatoes and leek and cook for 5–7 minutes, till the leek is soft.
3. Stir inside the creamed corn and sweetcorn, then pour inside the stock and milk. Bring to a delicate simmer and cook for a quarter-hour, or before potatoes are completely soft and also the flavour ripped. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Serve in warm bowls.
