Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 to 5 large ears corn, scraped from cob or 1 box frozen corn
1 medium or 2 small zucchini, chopped
1 pound small potatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 bay leaf
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of generous handfuls,
A few dashes hot sauce, to taste
Oyster crackers or white Cheddar popcorn, to pass at table

Directions

Heat a medium soup pot over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Add bacon to hot oil and cook until crisp at edges. Add onions and corn, zucchini and potatoes and bell pepper as you get them chopped. Also add to the soup pot the bay leaf, thyme sprigs, paprika, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes to begin to soften the vegetables. Sprinkle flour into the pot, stir and cook 1 minute. Stir in the stock and let it come up to a bubble and thicken up a bit. Then stir in cream, parsley and hot sauce, to taste, and simmer 5 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper and serve with crackers or popcorn to float on top.

The best fall soup ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this soup more times than I can count. I dress it up a little. It is great to add browned kalibasa sausage,... sweet potatoes, red peppers, celery and zucchini and wellow squash along with the listed veggies. It is devine with any hearty soup vegetable. I serve it with sourcream, cheese and crumbled corn chips on top. My favorite recipe to take to new moms. Freezes great in individual servings too!Read more

A very tasty and hearty soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup is really delicious. I followed the directions almost entirely, with the exception of powdered thyme and a yam... instead of potatoes, which I think added a nice sweetness to the soup. This is definitely worth a shot and a good way to get in your vegetables!Read more

More Please!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this choup, and it has become a staple in my house. I do play with the spices a bit; I added poultry seasoning, which... surprisingly adds a lot. I let it simmer longer than the directions say, because I prefer the veggies to be a bit softer. I also put shrimp in at the end, and it's sooo good in this soup that my sister won't let me make it without the shrimp now! If you're on the fence, try this! It's easy to adjust to your liking, and soooo delicious with a loaf of crusty french bread... mmmmm!!!Read more

Pretty good for a Choup
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Followed the recipe...at the end I had to add way more hot sauce and salt than expected since it didn't have a ton of flavor... on its own. I would make it again and add more spices and garlic along the way. Otherwise, since it's full of veggies it's a great one dish meal and even better leftover.Read more
