3 cups Maine lobster stock

4 sprigs fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

12 ounces Maine lobster meat

2 cups fresh or frozen corn

Fry the bacon in a heavy soup pot over medium heat until most of the fat has been rendered.  Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.

Sauté the onions in the bacon fat until soft.  Add the cubed potatoes, Maine lobster stock, thyme, and bay leaf and cook until the potatoes are tender and start to break down.

Add the Maine lobster meat and corn and heat thoroughly.  Slowly stir in the heavy cream.  Let sit for at least 30 minutes.  Season to taste with salt and fresh pepper.
