Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces
- 3 oz bacon uncooked, diced, about 6 slices
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup onion diced - 1 medium onion
- 1/4 cup celery chopped - 1 large celery stalk
- 1 1/2 cups red potatoes diced ½” (about 4 potatoes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs leaves stripped
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 ½ cups chicken broth low or no salt
- ½ cup almond milk or whole milk
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen and thawed
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt optional
Instructions
- In a pot, place the bacon in the cold pot and turn the heat to medium. Cook bacon stirring frequently until crispy and fat has been rendered, 6-10 minutes depending on thickness of bacon.
- Once the bacon is crispy, remove from the pot, drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- Add the onion, celery, potatoes, salt and pepper to the pot. Cook until they start to soften and the onion turns translucent.
- Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Cook for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth, bring to a simmer and add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
- Once chicken and potatoes have cooked through, reduce heat to a simmer and add in the milk and corn kernels.
- Remove from heat, whisk in the Greek yogurt if using, remove bay leaf, taste for salt and pepper, and serve with the bacon crumbles for garnish.
- Soup will continue to thicken as it cools.
