Time 55m

Yield 50 Oz

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces corn, thawed frozen (fresh is even better)
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 potatoes, cubed and cooked
1 cup chicken broth
3 cups whole milk (2% will give a thinner soup, part cream, richer)
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 egg, beaten
salt
pepper
parsley (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

Place cooked potatoes, corn, green onion, red peppers, chicken broth, 2.5 cups of the milk and butter in a pot. Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the remaining milk, egg and flour in a small container and shake well.
Slowly add to the pot, stirring until thickened.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer on low for another 15 minutes.
Serve in small bowls -- if you want to be fancy, preheat the bowls in boiling water before filling them with hot soup.
Garnish.
