Saute bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the fat begins to render, about 4 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Add onion, green and red peppers, celery, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Saute until the vegetables are almost tender, but not brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over vegetables. Stir 1 minute to cook the flour. Gradually stir in the broth, scraping up the flour on bottom of saucepan. Bring chowder to a boil. Add the corn and sugar. Cover saucepan, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring the chowder occasionally. Add cream, season chowder to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer 1-1/2 cups of chowder to a blender and puree. Mix puree back into chowder. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Ladle into bowls and top with a dollop of roasted pepper cream. Makes 4 to 6 bowls. ________ The Theme Restaurant at Jurassic Park, Universal City, California. Riverside Press-Enterprise (Ramirez) 25 Jul 96, Food Section, Feature
