    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion, red pepper, garlic and celery and sauté until they are soft, about four minutes.
  3. Add the chicken broth, chicken, frozen corn, diced potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and sage and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and allow to simmer, partially covered, for 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk in the tapioca and simmer for 2 minutes.

  7. Serve hot topped with crumbled bacon.

Notes

  • *This is a thick, creamy and hearty soup that is delicious on a cold winter’s day. I usually serve it with a tossed green salad and crunchy dinner rolls.
  • *The Minute tapioca helps to thicken the soup but a slurry made of 1 tablespoon of corn starch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water can be used instead. If you want it even thicker additional slurry can be used.
