Creamy Corn Chowder

This is another great recipe from Cook Yourself Thin. We had this soup with a BLT and it was delicious!

Ingredients:
  • 1 slice bacon, chopped
  • 1 small yukon gold potato
  • 1 small chopped sweet onion
  • 5 cups water
  • 3 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
Directions:
  • Brown bacon in large soup pot over med-high heat until crispy.  Remove from pot with slotted spoon, leave renderings behind.
  • Add onion and sautee in bacon grease until browned and soft (about 5 mins).
  • Add potatoes & half the thyme.  Let sautee for a couple of minutes to bring out the fragrance of the spice.
  • Add water. Bring to low boil and let simmer about 10 minutes until potatoes are soft.
  • Add corn and simmer another 5 minutes.  Add remaining seasonings and taste.  Adjust taste as needed.
  • Transfer 3 cups of the soup to the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse into a puree, add back into the pot and simmer. Serve with chopped bacon on top.
