Something I learned to make over the winter. It's a pretty common soup up here in the mighty Pennsyl-tucky and I learned to make the original version from a future in-law. Yet, being who I am, I have messed around and I think to made it better. It's a simple recipe that easy to change up and make it personal. So many ways to top it, serve it, and enjoy it.


Ingredients:

1-1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, depends on their size about 1-2
1/4 cup butter , diced into 1 tbsp pieces
1 large red bell pepper , diced (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion , diced (1 1/2 cups, I like using a nice yellow, but as long as it's not red it should be fine)
4 cloves garlic , minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (more or less, depends on how thick you want it)
6 cups chicken broth (use what you like, my in-law used low sodium)
3 medium russet potatoes , peeled and diced slightly less than 1/2-inch thick (I had yukons once and I think as long as you like the variety, go with what you want/have)
2 bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn
1 1/2 cups half and half
Toppings of choice (see notes)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add red bell pepper and onions. Saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Stir in flour, and cook 2 minutes stirring constantly. While stirring, slowly add in chicken broth and whisk until well blended.
Add potatoes, bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil stirring frequently, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or just until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Add in cooked chicken, corn and half and half and simmer, uncovered 10 - 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Serve, top, enjoy.
