Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onions and carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes or until just softened.
- Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking constantly, then bring to a simmer.
- Add the ham, corn, thyme and potatoes to the pot, along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add the heavy cream and bacon. Cook for 5 more minutes, then serve.
- Garnish with bacon, corn and thyme leaves if desired.
Notes
- This dish is best when served right away. Leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I don't recommend freezing this recipe as the dairy in the broth can separate when thawed.
- No heavy cream in the house? You can also use whole milk or half and half with good results.
- I think fresh thyme tastes best in the soup, but you can substitute 1/3 of the amount of dry thyme if needed.
