Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the oven to 450°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes and onion with the olive oil, thyme sprigs, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes cut sides down and roast until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Discard the thyme sprigs from the roasted vegetables. Transfer half of the vegetables to a medium pot. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Using an immersion blender (or a standard blender), puree the mixture until smooth.
-
Step 3.
Add the thawed corn and the remaining roasted vegetables to the pot. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve topped with crumbled cooked bacon and thinly sliced scallions if desired.
