Ingredients

• 12 medium ears corn, shucked
• 4 strips bacon
• 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp ground red pepper
• 2 tbsp. chopped green onion

Directions

1. Using a sharp knife, cut corn kernels from cobs. Using the back of a spoon, scrape cobs to remove pulp.

3. Add onion to skillet; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add corn kernel tips, corn pulp, 1/4 cup cream, and 1 tsp salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 40 minutes.

4. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup cream. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in black pepper, red pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Crumble bacon. Sprinkle corn mixture with bacon and green onion.
