Directions

Saute the bacon and onions in a heavy pot until the bacon is crisp and the onion is translucent.  

Drain off the fat.  Drain the tomato juice into the pot; squish the tomatoes through your fingers into 

the pot.  Add the corn, and thyme, salt, and pepper to taste, and simmer the mixture for 10 to 15

over the halved potatoes with butter and wait for the complements.
