FARMHOUSE CORN SOUP

Category: Soups

3 tbsp butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red and green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 pkgs frozen corn kernels, 1 lb each
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 cup diced cooked ham
Salt and pepper -- to taste

Melt the butter over low heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the red and green peppers and saute for 10 minutes more.

Put the frozen corn in a food processor and chop into small bits. (This will give the soup a creamier texture.) Add the corn to the soup pot along with the chicken stock.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and ham, and heat for 10 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 4-6
