Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook bacon over medium heat. Until crisp. Don't over cook. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Wipe some of the grease out from the pan.

  2. 2

    Then add onions and garlic to the same pot and cook over medium heat until softened, 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in chicken broth, cooked bacon, potatoes and carrots. Put a lid on and simmer until veggies are tender about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  4. 4

    Stir in milk, heavy whipping cream, corn, chili powder, celery seed and pepper and heat until simmering. Meanwhile, toss shredded cheeses with flour in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Take the pot off the heat. Slowly add cheese to the soup, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Taste and season with salt and pepper. ➡️ note: if your soup is to thick, you can add more milk or stock to thin it out. Be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly though.

  7. 7

    Serve warm. Top with parsley, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, extra cheese or extra bacon.
