There is nothing more comforting to me on a cold day than a delicious bowl of homemade soup. In the winter, I probably make a pot of homemade soup at least several times a week. I just love it! It truly is the ultimate comfort food.
I think the best thing about making soup, is how easy it is to customize to your own preference. If you have veggies in your fridge that need to be used up, go ahead and throw them in. The more the merrier. This is more about the method than following the recipe exactly.
Options:
Tip: If you have leftover parmesan rinds, they add a great flavor to the soup. Just add and simmer with the rest of the ingredients. Remove before serving.

Directions:
Gently heat the milk or half and half and chicken stock over low heat until hot but not boiling.
In a large pot cook bacon until it is crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towel. Reserve for garnishing. Saute onion, celery, and peppers in the bacon fat until softened. Add corn, potatoes, stock, milk, and seasonings. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook at a low temperature until vegetables are tender about 20 minutes. Add chicken to pot. Bring to a gentle boil and stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until soup is thickened. Remove bay leaf. Adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish each serving with reserved bacon, sour cream, and chopped green onions or chives.
