Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrot
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 12 oz red potatoes
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 1 8.5 oz can creamed corn
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Chop two slices of the bacon. Over medium-high heat, heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven.
  • Add the sliced bacon and cook until crisp, turning slices occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. Move sliced bacon to paper towel and set aside.
  • Add onion, carrot, thyme, and rest of bacon to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the corn kernels and garlic. Cook for 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water, cut into ½ -inch cubes. Add potatoes, broth, half-and-half, and corn to pan with onion mixture.
  • Heat until simmering, and then reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 14 minutes; stir in salt and pepper.
  • Carefully pour two cups of the potato mixture into a blender and purée. Return purée to the pan and stir. Divide among bowls and crumble two slices of reserved, sliced bacon over each.
