Creamy Chicken and Corn Soup with Bacon
This creamy chicken and corn soup brings together crispy bacon, tender shredded chicken, and sweet fire-roasted corn in a savory broth enhanced with sautéed onions, garlic, and kale. The broth is gently enriched with milk, providing a smooth texture balanced by the bite of fresh kale. Thinly sliced carrots cook until just tender, contributing subtle sweetness and body to the soup. The crispy bacon on top adds smoky crunch, making this a comforting choice for a filling meal.

Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bacon
- 1 onion chopped small
- 2 carrot sliced thin
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 cups corn fire roasted, thawed
- 3 cups chicken stock Kitchen Basics brand
- 2 cups chicken cooked, shredded
- 1 cup milk 2%
- 2 cups kale chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven over medium high heat and cook bacon until it is crispy. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
- Leave 1-2 tablespoon bacon grease in the pan and add chopped onion, carrots and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes until onions start to get translucent. Your carrots will have to be thinly sliced in order to cook through.
- Add chicken stock to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook just until carrots are tender. Add chicken, corn, kale and milk.
- Top with bacon and serve. If you prefer a thicker soup you can whisk a tablespoon of gluten free flour into the milk before you add it to soup. Salt and pepper to taste.
