Ingredients
  • 1 pound applewood-smoked bacon
  • 1 3/4 cups diced onion
  • 3 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 7 ears)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 8 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) rounds fingerling potato slices
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Thyme sprigs (optional)

Directions
  1. Preparation
  2. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion to drippings in pan; cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add corn, chopped thyme, and garlic to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in broth, milk, half-and-half, and potatoes; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Transfer 2 cups potato mixture to a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth; return pureed mixture to pan. Stir in salt and black pepper; sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.

Where do you find applewood-smoked bacon and rounds fingerling potato slices?


If you can not find applewood-somked bacon you can use any good quality smoked bacon. Fingerling rounds are just the fingerlings cut into rounds. If you can not find fingerlings any small potato will work, like new potatoes.


I love fingerlings (and everything else in this recipe!)...this is another one that goes into the Must Try file - nice flavors!


I like this recipe.......sounds awesome..


Wow that gooks good. Our corn season here is over but I'm going to try it anyway!
