Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon (chopped)
- ½ medium onion (diced)
- ½ cup sliced celery
- 1 ½ cups potato (peeled and diced)
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- black pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Steps
-
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Set aside to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings.
-
In a large pot, heat the reserved drippings. Saute onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Add potato, thyme, bay leaf, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 8 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
-
Add corn and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes for fresh corn, or 5 to 6 minutes for frozen corn.
-
Whisk together milk and cream, and add it to the soup mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes to thicken. Remove bay leaf and discard.
-
Remove 2 to 3 cups of soup and blend. Stir blended mixture back into the soup.
-
Remove the pot from heat and stir in half of the bacon. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon and green onions.
