Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 small onion, diced
1 small carrot, finely diced
1 small celery, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups white corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups half-and-half
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Cook until the roux is lightly browned; set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, combine the corn and chicken stock in another saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the boiling stock with the corn (a little at a time) into the saucepan with the roux, whisking briskly so it doesn't lump. Return the skillet to the heat and bring to a boil. The mixture should become very thick.
  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the half-and-half; stir it into the thick corn mixture. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Just before serving, cut the remaining stick of butter into large chunks. Add it to enrich the soup, stirring until the butter melts. (This added butter could be optional).
