Ingredients
- 1 medium white onion chopped
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 cup carrot diced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups corn fresh or frozen, whole kernel
- one ml can cream style corn
- 1 large russet potato cubed in small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- green onion minced, for topping
Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine the onions, celery, carrots, and butter. Sauté until the vegetables are softened. Add in the garlic and parsley, sauté until fragrant, around 2 minutes. Sprinkle the parsley and thyme over the vegetables and mix in.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring into the butter. Cook for 2 minutes until the flour smells nutty and is slightly browned.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Add in the corn, creamed corn, potatoes, and then salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a low simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender and falling apart. Stir in the cream, whisking to ensure there are no lumps. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the stove and ladle into bowls to serve. Top with minced green onions if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- To make this dairy-free, saute the vegetables in olive oil and skip the cream at the end. Thanks to the creamed corn this soup is rich and thick on it's own.
- Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken
