- 1 oz. can sweet corn rinsed and drained, canned
- 1 oz. can creamed corn
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium

- 1 tsp EACH dried parsley
- 1 tsp EACH salt
- 1/2 tsp EACH basil dried
- 1/2 tsp EACH oregano dried
- 1/4 tsp EACH dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp EACH black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional if you like heat, or more to taste

Garnish (optional)
- Bacon in directions, remaining
- parsley fresh
- Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Cook bacon in Dutch oven/large stock pot until crispy; remove from pot. Drain all but 2 tablespoons bacon grease or add additional olive oil to equal about 2 tablespoons.
- Add onions, carrots and celery and sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat. Increase heat to medium high and add sausage and garlic and cook, while crumbling meat, until meat is browned, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and cook, while stirring, an additional 2 minutes.
- Turn heat to low and stir in potatoes, cannellini beans, creamed corn and sweet corn. Add chicken broth. Whisk cornstarch with milk (you can whisk with as little as 1 cup milk, just enough so it dissolves) and add to pot. Stir in Dijon, bay leaves and all seasonings.
- Increase heat to high, cover pot and bring to a boil. Remove lid and reduce heat to a gentle simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in half and half, adding additional broth or half and half if desired for a less “chunky” soup and warm through.
- Remove from heat and stir in spinach/kale and half of chopped bacon.
- Garnish individual servings with remaining bacon and Parmesan cheese if desired.
