Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ounces sliced smoked bacon, diced small
2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 bay leaves
3 ribs celery, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, if needed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock
Two 15.25-ounce cans whole kernel corn with its liquid
1 cup heavy cream
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, render the bacon over medium-low heat until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate and reserve the fat in the pot. Turn the heat up to medium, add the sweet potato to the bacon fat and cook to al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sweet potato to the bacon plate.
  • Add the garlic, bay leaves, celery, onion, bell pepper, salt and pepper to the bacon fat. Add a tablespoon of butter if there's not enough bacon fat to saute the vegetables. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are translucent and soft, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the pot and stir with the vegetables until fully incorporated. Stir in the vegetable stock and canned corn with its liquid. Bring to a simmer. Add the bacon and sweet potatoes back to the pot and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Cook for a few minutes to warm through.
  • Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and sliced green onions before serving.
