Easy Creamy Corn Soup

Velvety, vegetarian and very easy to make. Fresh homemade soup on the table in a matter of minutes!

Ingredients:

1 - 398ml (14 oz) can creamed corn

1 cup fresh, frozen or canned kernel corn

1 1/2 cups milk

2 tbsps butter

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 cup finely diced bell pepper

1/3 cup finely diced onion

1 green onion, white finely chopped, green sliced

2 pinches (or more) red pepper flakes

handful of chopped spinach

 

If using fresh corn, first boil the corn then cut the kernels off the cobs. But if looking for simplicity use canned or frozen. Melt butter in a pot and add the kernel corn, bell pepper, onion and the white part of the green onion. Gently sauté until just starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and take about 1/2 the vegetables out of the pot (leaving the other 1/2 in the pot) and put them in a blender along with the milk. Blend to the consistency you like. To the pot add the creamed corn, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and the mixture in the blender.

Simmer a few minutes to heat through then serve with chopped spinach and sliced green onion tops to garnish.
