Sweet summer corn, buttery Yukon Gold potatoes and smoky Canadian bacon are a tasty combination in this flavorful soup. Feel free to substitute your favorite fresh vegetables like asparagus and broccoli for the red pepper. Or to save time, substitute 2 cups of frozen corn and 1 cup of frozen, diced bell pepper for the fresh corn and red pepper.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium uncooked yukon gold potato(es)
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 1/2 cup uncooked celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped uncooked onion, chopped (or 1 large shallot)

- 1 cup sweet red pepper, diced
- 4 oz uncooked Canadian-style bacon, diced
- 2 cups fat-free skim milk
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste

Stir bacon and milk into saucepan; stir in mashed potato and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; stir to combine. Cover and simmer 10 minutes (do not allow to boil).
