Directions:

Step 1

Place a large pot or Dutch oven on a stove over medium heat, then add the bacon, and cook them until nice and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot, then put them on a plate lined with paper towel to drain off all the excess oil, and set them aside. Back in your pot, remove the excess bacon grease and leave only about 2 tablespoons, then add the butter, and let it melt into the bacon grease. Add the diced onion, red pepper, and jalapeno, then give them a good stir, and cook them for about 5 minutes or until softened.

Pour the broth gradually while stirring consistenly to combine, then add the water, milk, cream, potatoes, chicken breast, and corn, and then give them a good mix.
