Servings: 6 bread bowls
Calories: 1127kcal
Ingredients
- 10 strips bacon, diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 ½ cups cubed potatoes
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked ham, drained
- 6 small round bread loaves, about 8 ounces each, optional
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- In the same pan, using the bacon drippings, saute the onion and carrots until tender. Blend in the flour and slowly add milk and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil; stirring constantly until thickened.
- Add the potatoes, corn, bouillon and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Add cheese, ham, and bacon; heat until cheese is melted.
- For the bread bowl, cut out the center, leaving the bottom of the bread loaf untouched (creating a hollowed out well to serve soup in). Brush lightly with egg and bake for 5 minutes in preheated oven.
- Remove bread bowl from oven and pour soup into the well.
- Serve immediately.
