Directions: |
Directions:In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1T. of the fat. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic and bell pepper. Sauté for 10 minutes or longer, until the onions are golden. Add the flour and stir, without browning, for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add the corn, Half-and-Half, cheese and 3/4 of the crumbled bacon, stirring together. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve garnished with the extra cheddar and bacon bits. If adding the sausage, remove casing and brown before adding to soup. Or cook whole, remove from pan and slice, then add to soup. Add chilies when adding cheddar. |
