Step 1

In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 2

Whisk in the flour and keep whisking until the mixture darkens but does not burn, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

This is called making a roux.

Step 4

Add the onion, carrots, and celery and stir occasionally until the veggies begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 5

Add the corn, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pot and cook, stir- ring, for another 2 or 3 minutes.

Step 6

(If using frozen corn, add a minute to the cooking time.)

Step 7

Pour in the stock and milk and bring to a boil.

Step 8

Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened.

Step 9

Partially puree the soup by transferring only half to a countertop blender, then returning the puree to the pot, or by sticking a hand immersion blender in the pot and briefly pureeing for less than a minute.

Step 10

Ladle into soup bowls and serve warm or freeze in individ- ual portions for another day.
