Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, blend only half or mash lightly with a potato masher.
Stir in the whole milk and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for an added touch.
