Ingredients
- 8 oz bacon chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 cups yellow onions chopped
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup flour

Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon in olive oil until the bacon is crisp about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and butter to the fat and cook for 10 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Add the corn to the soup, then add the half and half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a garnish of bacon.
