6 strips bacon
2 white onions, sliced thing
1 parsnip, peeled and diced
4 large carrots, peeled and diced
4 stalks celery, diced
4 cobs of corn, kernels cut off the cobs
2 cups chicken broth
1 - 2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon or thyme leaves
salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste

1
In a large stock pot or dutch oven, saute the bacon for about 5 minutes.
2
Remove cooked bacon and place on a paper towel to cool.
3
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
4
Add the onions and saute over medium-high heat until translucent.
5
Add the prepared parsnip, celery, and carrot.
6
Saute for 10 minutes, or until edges are browned.

Add the corn kernels and saute for 5 minutes longer.
8
Crumble in the cooled bacon, stir, and pour in the chicken stock.
9
Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the parsnips and carrots are tender.
10
Before serving, use an immersion blender, blender, or food processor to blend half of the soup into a course puree (I like to coarsely blend half of the soup, so it's creamy but still has some texture).
11
If mixture is too thick, add 1 - 2 cups water to thin to desired consistency.
12
Check salt and pepper levels, and adjust as needed.
13
Serve with a sprig of fresh tarragon and a twist of fresh ground pepper.
