Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a stock pot, render bacon over medium heat. About 2-3 minutes. The aroma will be great in this first step!
  2. Add onion, and stir to cook until transluscent. Make sure that it does not burn. We want it glossy.
  3. Add potatoes and carrots and stir to cook, do not color. About 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add flour, stir to distribute evenly.
  5. Add stock. Please use good quality stock. No fuss recipe available here. Bring to boil, then lower heat. Let simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Don't worry if the veggies break up. That is what they are supposed to do.
  6. Let cool for 15 minutes. (This prevents the unnecessary mess in the next step.)
  7. Pass soup through a blender, and puree until smooth. If taken fresh from the fire, the blender will be your worst enemy. Letting it cool before processing prevents scalding spatters.
  8. Return to heat. Add drained corn. Bring back to a simmer. Stir occassionally for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Stir in fresh cream.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring out the taste of fresh corn and bacon.
  11. Serve hot in soup plates. Garnish with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
