Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a subtle kick of heat.
Storage Instructions & Ingredient Substitutions
- Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
