Instructions

Place a soup pot over medium high heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and the potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the corn and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender or a food processor. Process until smooth. Pour the soup back into the pot. Stir in the half and half. Heat to serving temperature. Serve topped with the bacon pieces.
