Total Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients :

• 5 slices Hickory Smoked Wright Brand Bacon, cut into small pieces
• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups chopped yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Pinch crushed red pepper
• 2–1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup half and half
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions :

• In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, fry the bacon pieces until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain off fat from pot, leaving 1 tablespoon.
• Add shrimp to the pot and cook until pink (about 3-4 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to the plate with the bacon. Leave juices in pot.
• Add onions and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent.
• Add paprika, crushed red pepper, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes.
• Add corn, chicken stock and half and half. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the soup until creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, blend 2 cups of soup in a blender and pulse until creamy (exercise caution while blending hot liquids – blend small amounts at a time and hold down the top of blender pitcher while blending because there is a risk of the top blowing off and hot liquids to blow out!) and return to pot and stir well.
• Serve with shrimp and sprinkle with bacon pieces.
• Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
