Clock

Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tomatoes, quartered
  • 10 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 (48-oz) carton low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler. Remove kernels from cobs. Toss kernels with 1 Tbsp oil on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Toss tomatoes with 1 Tbsp oil on a second foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Broil, in batches, 5 to 6 minutes or until tomatoes are blistered and corn is golden.
  3. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp; drain, reserving 2 Tbsp drippings in pot.
  4. Sauté onion in hot drippings 5 minutes; add garlic, paprika, cumin, and salt; cook 1 minute. Add broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Puree soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a blender with center of lid removed so heat can escape. Return soup to pot, and stir in corn and bacon. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Side Dish Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 12 slices whole-grain bread

  2. Bake sandwiches 6 to 8 minutes per side or until toasted and cheese is melted.
