Cooking Steps
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bacon in a single layer.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-14 min, until bacon is crisp and cooked through.**
- Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Meanwhile, cut ciabatta into 1-inch pieces.
- On an unlined baking sheet, toss together ciabatta with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season salt and pepper.
- Toast in the bottom of the oven for 8-10 min, until croutons are golden and crisp.
- While the croutons bake, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then stir until butter melts.
- Add garlic, peppers, corn and green onion whites. Cook for 3 min, stirring occasionally, until peppers start to soften and corn begins to brown slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle flour over veggies. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until veggies are coated.
- Add cream cheese, stock powder and 1 1/2 cups (3 cups) water. Carefully whisk until cream cheese is well combined. Bring soup up to a simmer. Once simmering, cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat, then stir in red pepper pesto. Season with pepper, to taste.
- Crumble or cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut bacon with ease.)
- Divide soup between bowls. Top with bacon and croutons.
- Sprinkle with cheese and green onion greens.
If you've opted for double bacon, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the regular portion of bacon.
