Instructions
Slice corn kernels off the cob and set aside. Take each ear of corn and hold it over a bowl. Use either the back of your knife or a spoon and scrape any remaining pulp and juice from the cobs.
8 ears Yellow Sweet Corn (husks and silks removed)
Cook bacon pieces in large heavy bottomed pot (like a dutch oven) over MED heat. Cook about 5-8 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
8 slices Bacon diced
Use a clean paper towel to absorb some of the bacon grease, reserving about 1 Tbsp of grease in the pot. Add butter and melt over MED heat.
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
Add diced onions and cook about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add garlic and flour and cook about 1 minute, stirring often.
1 medium Yellow Onion diced0.25 cup All-purpose Flour 2 cloves Garlic minced
While whisking, pour in water and increase heat to MED-HIGH. Add in corn, potatoes, thyme, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to MED-LOW and simmer.
5 cups Water (chicken broth or vegetable broth may be substituted)8 ears Yellow Sweet Corn (husks and silks removed)1 lb Yukon Gold Or Baby Red Potatoes sliced into 1/2 inch pieces0.25 tsp Dried Thyme 0.25 tsp Smoked Paprika Salt And Black Pepper to taste
Simmer, stirring every so often, for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
1 lb Yukon Gold Or Baby Red Potatoes sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
Use an immersion blender to blend about half the soup until smooth. Alternatively, remove about 3 cups of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir the blended soup back into the pot.
Add in half and half, reserved corn juice, and about half the chives. Stir in and heat through.
