Table of Contents

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 medium onion, diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream
4 slices of turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

2. Add the Potatoes and Broth:

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, then bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. Add the Corn:

Stir in the fresh or frozen corn kernels and continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the corn is heated through.

4. Add the Cream and Turkey Bacon:

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to heat the cream through and blend the flavors.

Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for an extra cozy meal.

Tips:

For Extra Flavor: You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a little kick and smoky flavor.
Make it Heartier: If you want to make the soup even more filling, you can add a handful of shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked sausage.
Vegan Version: To make it vegan, you can skip the turkey bacon and use coconut cream or a dairy-free cream substitute.

This Amish Snow Day Soup is perfect for warming up on a cold day, with its comforting texture and rich, creamy flavor. Enjoy! 🍲🌽
