{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Spicy Corn Chowder with Chicken

 

Spicy Corn Chowder with Chicken

4 slices of bacon
1 onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 poblano pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
4 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
4 small/medium potatoes, diced
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme (or 3/4 tsp. dried thyme)
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 cups cooked and diced or shredded chicken (I just seasoned a couple of chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sauteed in a bit of oil in a frying pan until cooked through)

Cut the bacon into strips and fry in a large dutch oven until crispy then set aside.
If you used turkey bacon like I did, you might need to add a little oil to the pan - if you use regular bacon, drain grease, reserving 1 Tbsp.
To the reserved fat, add the onion, jalapeno, poblano pepper, red pepper, and corn.
Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add in the thyme and season with salt and pepper.
Add in the potatoes and broth.
Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree.
Add back to the soup pot and add in the milk, heavy cream, and cooked chicken.
Let simmer for a few minutes.
Top each bowl with some crumbled bacon.
