Instructions
Cook bacon and sausage in a pot over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving some fat in the pot.
Add onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garlic and flour, cooking for 1 minute. Add broth, ensuring flour is dissolved.
Add cream, potatoes, bell pepper, corn, marjoram, Tony's seasoning, bacon, and sausage. Bring to a boil, then simmer with lid slightly open for 15-20 minutes.
Simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
