Corn Soup
1 cup sliced leeks, light green and white parts only
2Tbs. unsalted butter
3 cups freshly shucked corn
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 lb. thick bacon, diced
1 teas. finely diced jalapeno, seeds removed
White pepper to taste
1/3 C heavy cream
Saute leeks in butter, covered, over med-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 min. or until tender and carmelized
Add corn and broth and simmer, uncovered, 5 min, or until corn is tender
Meanwhile saute bacon until crispy, but not overcooked, drain
In a blender puree soup until smooth (just a little at the time, it's hot)
Return pureed soup back to the pan, heat through
Add white pepper and salt to taste. Stir in heavy cream
Divide soup between 2 bowls and garnish with bacon and jalapeno.
I don't like jalapeno, and I couldn't see that the bacon added anything. I think maybe a little balsamic vinegar drizzled in middle of the bowl of soup. That tastes good with my leek soup.

Thanks Grammy,
I bookmarked it, and plan to try it once I've recuperated.
Hugs,

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
