Cheesy Corn Chowder

I have been on a Pioneer Woman kick lately, she is just so good!  I made another one of her soups this week and in spite of not liking corn chowder, Jer liked this!

Cheesy Corn Chowder

1/2 stick butter
1 onion - diced
10 slices ready cooked bacon - cut into 1/2" strips
1 green pepper - diced
2 can corn - drained
1/4 cup flour
3 cup chicken broth
2 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 cup (heaping) shredded colby jack cheese
4 slices pepperjack cheese

In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onions and peppers for a couple of minutes. Add bacon and cook for another minute or so, then add corn and cook for a minute. Sprinkle flour evenly over the top and stir to combine. Pour in broth and stir well. Allow this to thicken for 3-4 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Stir in half-and-half, then cover and allow to simmer/thicken for 15 minutes. Stir in cheeses. When cheese is melted and the soup is hot, check seasonings. Add salt and pepper as needed.
