  3. Drain all of the cooking liquid out of the pan.
  4. Place garlic and onion into the dutch oven. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until onions start to turn translucent. Add potato, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook until potato starts to soften.
  5. Add in spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken stock and stir well, making sure to scrape up all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once at a boil, add corn and turn down heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Whisk in cream of choice. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  9. Serve in desired serving bowls. Top with roughly chopped shrimp, bacon pieces, parsley, thyme, scallions, and corn if using.
