In a medium sized sauce pan on medium heat melt together the butter and flour and whisk together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to form a blond roux. Set aside.
In a large pot on high heat add in the bacon and cook until brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon lardons and set aside.
Next, add the onions, celery and garlic to the pot and caramelize the vegetables. Once brown add in the corn and beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

Once boiling whisk in the roux and turn down the heat to medium until the soup becomes very thick.
