Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 lices Bacon cut into ½-inch pieces (or a guestimate of bacon ends)
  • butter or oil, if needed
  • 2 sweet potato cut into ½ inch cubes (about 2 ½ cups, medium
  • 1 onion finely diced (about 2/3 cup, small to medium size
  • 1-2 celery finely diced (about ½ cup, stalks
  • 7 cups vegetable broth or mild broth of your choice
  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels fresh or frozen, it was about half my 1 lb frozen bag
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary crumbled or 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced, dried
  • 2 cups wild rice cooked

Instructions

  1. In a small to medium stockpot, cook diced bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  2. Drain the bacon grease and return 3 tablespoons to pan, adding butter if needed to make 3 tablespoons (I eyeballed it, and just used the quantity of bacon grease in the pan)
  3. Add sweet potatoes, onion and celery to the stockpot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, until onions and celery have softened, about 4 minutes. Add stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add corn, salt, pepper and rosemary. Transfer about 3 cups of the soup to a food processor or blender and process (starting on low) until smooth (always be careful to start blending hot foods slowly to avoid explosions of scalding soup). Stir the puree back into the soup.
  5. Add wild rice and reserved bacon, then simmer a couple minutes to heat through.
  6. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For an economy tip (especially if you don’t keep bacon around), you can buy bacon ends for cooking at about half the cost of bacon.
