Serves: 6
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
340 g (12 oz) bacon, 1" pieces
2 cups red potatoes, cubed into 1/4-1/2" pieces (6-12 mm)
1 cup onions (chopped finely)
1/2 cup flour or GF-flour alternative
950 ml (4 cups) vegetable broth
227 g (8 oz) frozen or canned corn
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
This is one of those homely soups that, despite the time to prep and cook, is actually quite simple and can be left alone. The sour cream gives this soup a lighter cream base than whipping cream and a bit of a bite to offset the moody bacon and soft potatoes.
Use red potatoes vs. bakers potatoes (flavour). If you have a Trader Joe's near you, use their applewood smoked bacon. It is *chef kiss*, and that's coming from a pescatarian. Speaking of food choices, this is one recipe I cheat with meat for. It can be made without, but I thought I'd leave this recipe in its most pristine condition for my fellow bacon-loving omnivores. If you make it meat-free, leave a comment and tell me what you think!
