    Ingredients
      

    • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
    • ½ onion diced
    • 2 stalks celery diced
    • ½ red bell pepper diced
    • 1 jalapeño sliced or diced
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • 4 cloves garlic minced
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups low-fat milk
    • 1 ½ cups frozen corn kernels
    • 1 15 oz can cream-style corn
    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
    • ⅓ cup 35% cream
    • 300 g cooked Wild Canadian Cold Water shrimp (150/250) thawed
    • 3 green onions thinly sliced, white and light green parts only
    • Hot sauce optional for serving
    • Baguette toasts, with herb butter optional for serving

    Instructions
     

    • Cook the bacon in a deep saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Use tongs to remove the bacon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside.
    • Discard all but approximately 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the celery, red pepper, and jalapeños, then cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender.
    • Add the paprika, salt, pepper and garlic, stir and cook for 1 minute more.
    • Spread the vegetables to the outside of the pan to create a well in the middle .
    • Raise the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, sprinkle the flour over the top of the butter and mix to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
    • Slowly pour in the milk, ¼ at a time, stirring constantly to get rid of any lumps. Once you have added 1 cup and the flour mixture is smooth, slowly stream in the rest of the milk.
    • Next add the corn kernels and cream-style corn. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.*
    • Reduce heat to low, then stir in the thyme, cream and shrimp. Cook for one minute to warm the shrimp. Remove from heat.
    • Serve hot, sprinkled with crumbled bacon, green onions, toast and hot sauce if desired.

    Notes

    For a quick weeknight meal solution, make the soup ahead until just before adding the thyme, cream and shrimp. Let cool, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Warm the soup up and finish as per instructions.
