Recipe Ingredients:
- ½ onion, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 (12 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
- 2 ½ tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ground cayenne pepper to taste
How To Make Corn Soup Recipe?
- Prepare the base: Combine butter, onion, parsley, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the onion is tender.
- Make the roux: Whisk in flour to form a thick paste, then gradually whisk in milk and chicken stock/broth until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add the corn and creaminess: Stir in the drained corn and cream cheese; cook until fully heated through.
- Season and serve: Add garlic salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste; stir until well combined. Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh parsley and garlic. If fresh corn is available, it can be substituted for canned corn by cutting kernels off the cob.
- Whisk Continuously: When making the roux (flour and butter mixture), whisk constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy soup.
- Adjust Thickness: If the soup is too thick, add more milk or chicken broth in small increments until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season Gradually: Start with a small amount of garlic salt and cayenne pepper, then adjust to taste as the flavors meld during cooking.
- Blend for Creaminess: For an extra creamy texture, blend part of the soup before serving, but leave some corn kernels intact for added texture.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the creamy corn soup cool to room temperature first. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cool the soup completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Pour the soup into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it’s evenly heated and smooth.
