Soup season has officially hit our little side of the world.
I really can’t complain about the Ohio weather that we’ve had so far this winter. (OK…except for the flood warnings from the insane amount of rain we’ve been having.) It seems like it is always windy where we live. So when the temperature starts to drop, the wind chill makes temperatures feel more awful than they really are.
Needless to say, I stay inside, cozy in front of my pellet stove whenever I can. That happens to be where I’m sitting now as I write about this easy soup recipe. Coffee in hand and dog at my feet.
Kinslee’s favorite vegetable is cream corn, so as I was planning my winter blog posts, turning pages in my Amish cookbook, I came across cream corn soup. Kinslee is one that needs help with getting good food in her belly. She doesn’t like simple lunch foods such as peanut butter and jelly, so having easy recipes on hand that she can eat for lunch or a snack is invaluable. She loves corn casserole, so when I saw this soup, I immediately thought of her.
This cream corn soup is not only easy, but can be put together in just about 30 minutes. Most of this 20 minutes is hands-off, waiting for the onion and celery to boil to a tender consistency.
It’s a pretty straight-forward soup recipe. Place celery, onion, parsley and corn boiling water for 20 minutes, then strain. Keep the corn stock, though. Just strain out the veggies and set them aside. Add the warm milk to the corn stock. Keep this over medium-low heat.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and add the flour to the melted butter. Mix this together until it becomes a runny paste. Add this to the corn stock/milk mixture and whisk it together until it is dissolved.
Add salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil over medium heat. Boil for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat and add the veggies back in.
Just like that, your soup is done!
This is a very light, brothy soup. It’s not as thick as cream corn. The higher fat milk you use, the creamier it will be, though. We used 2% milk, but you could even use half and half if you’d like. We like to top ours with chopped bacon (because, why not?!) and some fresh parsley.
Dunk homemade bread such as these rolls or my mom’s yummy white bread right into that broth.
This soup will warm you to your toes. 🙂

Awesome and simple soup for my picky eater who loves both corn and soup! Thanks!
Loved this creamy corn soup! Do you have a good recipe with Hamburger or Beef Stew for a good vegetable soup? Would love a good simple, tasty easy recipe.
This looks so good! I love soup in the cold MI winters and this looks like a keeper. I will be trying it this next week. Thank you for posting.
