Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon (diced to 1/2 inch pieces and cooked)
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- ½ cup red bell pepper
- 2 talks celery (chopped thin)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3-4 cups russet potato peeled and chopped small
- 2 cups cream-style corn
- 1 cup corn whole kernel
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream (half and half)
- green onion (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot or a dutch oven cook the bacon until crisp, about 6-7 minutes. Remove most of the bacon grease but leave about 2 tablespoons in the pot.
- Add the chopped onion and celery and saute until translucent and soft. Add the celery and the red pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes more.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Pour the chicken broth into the pot and stir well until smooth.
- Add potatoes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add in the corn, creamed corn and bring to a light simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring frequently, until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add in the cream and milk slowly, stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately in bowls and garnish with sliced green onion.

Notes
- For a thicker soup add more potatoes as they will break down to make it more dense.
