Directions

Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until browned and crisp; drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
Saute chicken, onion, bell pepper and garlic in hot bacon drippings; cook 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is no longer pink and onion begins to soften. Add chicken broth, frozen corn and cream-style corn. Combine corn starch with milk and stir into soup.
Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add salt, pepper and cheese; stir until cheese is melted.
Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle bacon over individual servings.

"Quite simple and very filling. I did use red pepper and increased it to a full cup. I also used Cracker Barrel 2% sharp white cheddar. Sauteeing the chicken and vegetables in the bacon really added a ..." See moregood amount of flavor, so adding fresh ground pepper and a little sea salt was really all this soup needed. VERY GOOD and quite comforting. I did serve this with Ranch Oyster Crackers on the side. NOTE: For those of you who shop at Costco, the frozen Foster Farms chicken breasts work great for this. One package of two large breasts is the perfect amount."
