Preparation
Step 1
1. SET a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon. Cook for 1 minute, or until it releases some of its moisture. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the corn and broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 15 minutes.
2. PLACE the flour in a medium bowl. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Pour into the Dutch oven. Stir until well-blended. Add the basil and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until the soup thickens. Add the tortellini. Cook for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
