Method

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to create a blonde roux. Add onion, celery, poblano & serrano peppers; cook 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in half-and-half, stock, chicken, corn, creamed corn, thyme and salt. Let soup come to a gentle simmer, but don't boil. Let soup gently simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

 

Notes: I like to garnish this soup with a few roasted corn kernels sprinkled on top and a sprig of fresh thyme.

 

Number of Servings: Serves 6-8
