Steps:
- In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and 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.
- Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.) 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.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are good and soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Dust the vegetables with flour and stir to coat everything well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the cream and the potatoes, bring to a boil and boil hard for about 7 minutes, until the potatoes break down (this will help to thicken the soup and give it a good texture).
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the corn is soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the parsley and give it another little drink of olive oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

Tips:
- Utilize young and tender corn: Select corn during its peak season for optimal flavor and sweetness. Look for young corn with vibrant green husks and tightly packed kernels.
- Embrace freezing and soaking techniques: Freezing kernels enhances their sweetness and improves texture, while a brief 24-hour soak in filtered or spring water ensures optimal nutrient retention.
- Maintain vibrant hues naturally: Blanching corn in hot water followed by an ice bath preserves the vibrant yellow color of the kernels.
- Season wisely and let flavors shine: Let the natural flavors of the corn play center stage, and season judiciously with sea salt, black pepper, and a hint of garlic powder.
