This is a very flavorful soup. I use organic ingredients whenever possible, for a healthier soup. You can also control the salt by using low sodium or unsalted ingredients.
Servings: 8-12
Ingredients:
1 tbsp butter
1/4 lb diced smoked bacon
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced red pepper
salt and cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp flour
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
2 cups shredded carrots
1 16 0z bag frozen corn
1 cup half and half
1/4 tsp dried thyme
pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions:
Melt butter in a large pot. Add the bacon and cook untill crisp. remove bacon and drain on a paper towel.
Pour off fat, leaving 1/4 cup in the pot. Saute onions and peppers with salt and pepper, till tender then add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
Stir in the flour and then add the broth and potatoes, thyme and cayenne. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and bring to a boil, then lower and simmer till potatoes are tender. Add the carrots and corn. Cover and simmer for about 5 more minutes, enough to heat the corn and carrots.
