Cut up and cook 3 pieces of bacon in a large pot
Remove and set aside
Saute 1 large onion and 2 stalks of celery until soft
Add in some paprika, cumen, salt and pepper
Throw in 1 diced jalapeno and 3 cloves of chopped garlic
Skin and dice up 2 large potatoes into small chunks and add this to the mix
Add a bunch of frozen corn (just eyeball it so it looks like an equal amount to the potatoes)
Saute up for a bit until the taters/corn starts to soften
Add enough chicken stock to cover the mix (I just use organic cubes of stock and then I don't have to measure the water)
throw in 2-3 bay leaves
Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and then simmer for about 15-20 minutes (until everything is cooked through)
remove the bay leaves
Pull off heat and zip a few times with a hand blender (I like to leave it chunky)
Add in a slop of cream and mix
Serve in a bowl with some of the bacon on top, a squeeze of lime/lemon and its also super tasty if you add a dollop of sour cream


Hell I even grate some cheese on top sometimes too

Oh, I didn't have any, but some cilantro thrown in at the end would probably be good too

kbye!
