Ingredients
1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
24 ounces canned whole kernel corn, drained
2 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Sauté the onion, parsley, butter, and garlic until tender.
2. Whisk in flour to create a blonde roux and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Gradually incorporate milk and chicken broth, whisking until thickened.
4. Fold in the drained corn kernels and softened cream cheese.
5. Whisk until the cheese is integrated and the soup is heated through.
6. Season with garlic salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
Notes
Use room temperature milk to prevent the roux from clumping.
For a smoother texture, blend one cup of the corn before adding it back to the pot.
Reserve some fresh parsley for a vibrant garnish at the end.
