As it is a cold snowy day! ;D
This is a delicious soup, found it in the Tesco recipes and has become a firm favorite here, easy to make too!
I use red pepper instead of the green, personal preference, prefer the taste, and frozen sweetcorn.
Might have to make some for lunch! ;D
Ingredients
100 g streaky bacon, diced
2 tbsp cornflour
225 g sweetcorn kernels
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley to garnish
1 onion, chopped
1 stick celery, sliced
1 green pepper, diced
2 medium potatoes, cubed
½ tsp paprika
1 stock cube made up to 600ml with boiling water
1 bay leaf
450 ml semi skimmed milk
Method
Cook the diced pieces of bacon in a large saucepan over a medium heat until the fat runs.
Add the onion, celery and green pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until all the vegetables have softened.
Add the cubed potatoes and paprika, stir well then pour in the stock.
Add the bay leaf and then slowly bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, then add the milk mixed with the cornflour.
Add the sweetcorn and then simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens.
Season and sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley to serve.
Oo lovely DP, a favourite in our household. No.1 son likes it with smoked haddie :)
Must try - anything to use up the stocks of cobs which never seem to get eaten until they are time expired!!
Bringing this back up, as am making it today with as Tim says, expiring cobs!
Looking forward to lunch now!! ;D
Thankfully not a cold snowy day though! ;D
Thanks for the reminder, DP - we still have some from last year!!
Lucky you got sweetcorn ::)
