Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 pound bacon cut into bite-size pieces
  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 chicken bullion cubes
  • 1/2 Tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 pounds cooked chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 ½ pounds frozen corn (I use two 11-ounce bags)
  • 1 bunch green onion thinly sliced
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ pints heavy whipping cream
  • shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the diced potatoes, chicken bullion and black pepper. Stir and cook mixture until potatoes are semi-translucent; about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken pieces, corn and green onion. Stir and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until heated through. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup mix together the water and cornstarch until combined and then pour into the pot. Bring the entire soup mixture to a boil, reduce heat slightly and let simmer about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and pour in the heavy whipping cream. Stir until cream is combined. Let soup stand about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve in individual bowls with shredded cheese and extra diced green onion. Enjoy! ♥
