Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a small serrated knife to remove the kernels from the corn. Reserve the cob.
  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens.
  3. Step 3

    Add the bacon, celery, potato, thyme and corn kernels and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until bacon starts to brown. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until well combined. Add stock and reserved corn cob. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 mins or until the potato is tender and the soup thickens slightly. Discard the corn cob. Stir in the cream. Season.
  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, use a small serrated knife to cut 1cm from the top of each roll. Cut around the edge to create a 1cm-thick shell. Place on a baking tray. Brush the inside of each roll with melted butter. Bake for 5 mins or until just crisp.
  5. Step 5

    Ladle soup among the bread shells. Sprinkle with chives.
