Cream of Corn Soup
Can be put together in no time at all.
1 can (12 ounces) dry-pack corn kernels
3 tablespoons sweet butter
2 tablespoons finely minced onion
2 teaspoons flour
3 cups milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
white pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy sweet cream
pinch sweet paprika
Measure out 1/4 cup of corn and set aside. Put the remaining corn and any
liquid in the can into a blender or food processor and puree.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 1 1/2 to 2 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan,
and when it begins to foam, add the minced onion. Saute slowly, stirring
frequently, until the onion softens and turns bright yellow; do not let it
brown. Sprinkle in the flour and saute for about 5 minutes, but do not let
color develop.
Pour in the milk, and with a whisk beat the flour and onion mixture into it.
Stir in the pureed corn and reserved whole kernels; add salt and pepper.
Simmer gently for 20 minutes over very low heat, stirring frequently to
prevent the corn from sticking to the bottom; add milk if the mixture becomes
too thick. Add the cream and stir in the paprika. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, adjust the seasoning and serve.
Variation: For a more piquant touch, substitute a pinch of cayenne pepper for
the white pepper, or eliminate white pepper and use hot paprika instead of
the sweet.
