In a large pot set over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the pot.

To the pot, add the onions, bell pepper, celery and carrots. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions are mostly translucent. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 to 30 seconds.

Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually add the broth slowly while stirring or whisking constantly.

Add the half-and-half, potatoes, corn, salt, pepper, paprika and dill. Bring the soup to a low boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Stir in the red wine vinegar and reserved bacon. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

The soup will thicken slightly as it cools. Serve warm or let cool, refrigerate, and reheat when needed. This soup tastes even better the next day.
