Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon diced
  • 1 red pepper diced (optional)
  • 2-3 stalks celery diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • cup flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 large potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 cups fresh corn
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ tsp fresh thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast.
  • 1 cup half and half
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy then remove from pan setting aside for later. In the bacon fat saute peppers, onions and celery until soft, about 3-5 min. Add in garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add butter to pan, once melted, sprinkle flour and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add in the chicken stock, while whisking vigorously until well combined. Add in potatoes, corn, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add in cooked chicken and half and half, stir, then continue to cook on medium low heat uncovered for another 10-15 minutes. Add in heavy cream and cook for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm and top with crumbled bacon, fresh cilantro, green onions, shredded cheese and fresh chopped tomatoes!

Notes

Bell peppers are optional
I've also used canned corn instead of fresh
