This is a hearty soup that you can serve as a first course or as an entree. You may want to try a little hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®) when serving. It kicks it up a notch.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh peeled and deveined shrimp

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
Crumble 4 slices bacon into the skillet. Add onion, celery, garlic, and thyme; cook and stir over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
Transfer bacon mixture to a large pot. Add corn and chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil; cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
Pour 2 cups of soup into a blender. Cover and hold lid down; puree until smooth.
Return pureed soup to the pot. Stir in half-and-half, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in shrimp; cook until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
Ladle soup into bowls. Crumble remaining 2 slices bacon on top.
