Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to a large kettle and heat.  Add the bacon and cook until it just begins to brown.  Remove the bacon and set aside.

Add 4 Tablespoons of butter to the pot and heat on low until it’s melted.  Add the onion, garlic and corn kernels.  Cook until the onions are translucent.  Place about 1/3 cup of the vegetables with the bacon that was set aside.

Blend the remaining vegetables with the broth until it is a creamy puree.

Put it back in the pan and heat to simmer.  Add the half and half, butter and bacon mixture.  Simmer on low for about 15-20 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
