• 6 ears corn-on-the-cob, tassels and husks removed
• 2 tablespoons Dierbergs butter
• 1 leek, rinsed, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 carton (32 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1½ cups peeled and diced Yukon gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ teaspoon coarse salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 6 slices bacon, diced and cooked crisp
• Snipped fresh chives

Cut kernels from corn with serrated knife; reserve 2 of the corn cobs and discard remaining corn cobs.

 

In large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add leek; cook stirring often until softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, corn kernels, reserved corn cobs, and thyme; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

 

Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard corn cobs. Stir in cream; season with salt and pepper.

 

Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish each with bacon and chives.
