It really has started to cool down here in Wisconsin! I love fall and with fall comes delicious soup recipes! This is one of my favorite recipes of all time. I can remember making this when I was in college and eating it for the entire week! It was that good!
There are a few things that I want to touch on in this recipe. Corn is in season here. I am lucky to have found a farmer that has GMO Free corn. I highly recommend that you seek out some corn that has not been genetically modified.
Also it is best to use organic potatoes and do your best to find some pasture raised bacon. If you can, try your hand at making some homemade chicken stock. It taste so much better and is absolutely wonderful for you.
Finally if you are looking to add more protein to your soup, then use greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If it doesn’t matter much, you could use either. I use a mixture of both and it taste amazing!
