Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon thick cut, smoked
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 4 cups corn kernels frozen whole
- 3 cups potato I used about 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup carrot about 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery about 2 medium stalks, diced
- 4 cups almond milk Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon marjoram
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Slice the bacon into ¾-inch pieces. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a plate topped with a paper towel to drain and set aside. Reserve the bacon drippings in the pan and cook the onion in the bacon drippings until tender, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the corn kernels, diced potatoes, carrot, celery and half of the chopped bacon to a 4 or 6 quart slow cooker. Add the cooked onions. Pour the Almond Breeze over the soup ingredients and add the bay leaves, kosher salt and marjoram. Stir gently to mix.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with ½ cup of the broth then stir into the rest of the soup. Cook for 30 minutes or so more until the soup thickens.
- Remove the bay leaf and use a potato masher to gently smash the soup to thicken a bit more. If the soup seems to break or separate because of being cooked too long, stir in a ½ cup or more of AlmondBreeze.
- Season to taste with more kosher salt. Serve hot topped with chopped bacon.
