Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1½ cups whole milk or half-and-half

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)
  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp paprika or white pepper

  3. Create the Base
    Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir continuously for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

  5. Season the Soup
    Add black pepper, thyme, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
