Incorporate Corn: Stir in the frozen corn and the can of creamed corn. Pour in the cream, and continue to simmer the chowder over low heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.

Adjust Consistency: If the chowder is too thick, you can add a little milk to reach your desired consistency.

Finish with Bacon (Optional): If desired, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it and sprinkle it over the chowder just before serving.

Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or any other herbs and spices to suit your preference.
