Serving size: 1 cup
Number of servings: 6


Ingredients
• 2 large ears of corn, shucked
• 1 slice uncooked bacon, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 6 small red potatoes
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill


Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat the grill or broiler.

2. Grill or broil the corn until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

3. Cook the bacon in a soup pot over low heat. Add the onion, celery, thyme, and bay leaf. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.

4. Slice the corn kernels from the cob.

5. Dice the potatoes and add them to the soup pot with the chicken broth. Simmer until the potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the milk, peppers, chicken, and dill. Cook until the chicken is just cooked through (about 10 minutes). Remove the thyme and bay leaf. Adjust the salt and pepper and serve.
