Creamy Tomato Soup with Corn, Chicken and Bacon

i saw this soup recipe and thought it sounded pretty delish! and super easy.... and i love all of those things individually.. so why not combine them? :)

well, the last time that happened (i love everything, why not combine them) w/ the mac and cheese... it was ok, but not the greatest.. i have to tell you, it happened ok.. i found this soup good, but not to die for, like i had hoped... it did taste better the second day though.. i paired it w/ some crusty bread, since i was too cheap to buy bread bowls :)

i forgot to take a picture, so see the one where i got the recipe from! :)

1/4 cup white onion

4 cloves garlic

Two 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes

One 8-ounce can Mexicorn (a blend of corn with red and green bell peppers)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup chicken broth

2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (I used a rotisserie chicken and shred it)

1 cup cooked crumbled bacon

Bread bowls if desired

1. Place onion, garlic and tomatoes into a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add corn, stirring to combine then add salt, pepper and cumin, stirring again to combine. Stir in buttermilk, chicken broth, chicken and bacon pieces until combined. Reduce heat to low until ready to serve. Serve inside hollowed out bread bowls if desired.

Makes 6 servings
