Ingredients

4 strips bacon, diced
1 large scallion, minced (white and green parts), or 1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, or a mix of red and green (I like to use mini peppers, and cut them in rings)
16 oz frozen corn
1 tsp dried thyme, or 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp all-purpose unbleached flour
4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium store-bought
3 cups chopped cooked chicken (leftover, or rotisserie chicken)
1 cup half-and-half (do not use fat-free)
Fresh black pepper, to taste
