Ingredients
Instructions
Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and set aside. Place the bare cobs in a stockpot with chicken broth, milk, and cream. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to create corn stock. Remove and discard the cobs.
In a Dutch oven, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and reserve 2–3 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
Add onion, celery, and carrot to the bacon fat and sauté until softened.
Stir in potatoes, corn kernels, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour in the prepared corn stock.
Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
For a creamier texture, blend one-fourth of the soup and stir it back into the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with crispy bacon and fresh chives.
