Is there anything like a hot bowl of creamy soup on a cool night? I think not. But sometimes the thought of chopping, prepping and simmering a soup for hours just isn't appealing. What is? A creamy gluten-free soup that has three ingredients and is ready in 10 (10!) minutes. Enter this quick, easy, three-ingredient creamy corn soup recipe. This shortcut recipe is a keeper.
There's a good chance you have everything in your kitchen to make this high-protein shortcut soup recipe right now. Here is what you need to gather from the pantry and fridge: canned whole kernel corn, milk and butter. The corn is given some extra flavor with a quick trip in a skillet with a little butter, then is whirled to a creamy consistency with the milk in a blender. Season it up and add some reserved corn for texture and this low-sodium soup is ready to be eaten. Just grab a spoon.
Variation: Crispy, crumbled cooked bacon or prosciutto would be delicious sprinkled over the top or stirred into the soup. More protein! Check out the health benefits of protein.
Serve this tasty pureed corn soup for lunch or dinner with your favorite side dishes. Or skip the sides and curl up with a bowl on the couch and watch your favorite shows.

Ingredients
- 30 ounces (2 cans) whole kernel corn, drained (divided)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Here's how to make it:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the corn and cook, stirring, until it just begins to lightly brown. Remove 1/2 cup of the corn and set aside. Put the remaining corn into a blender. (To reduce the sodium, use no-salt whole kernel corn. I always rinse my corn under running water after opening the can.)
- Add the milk to the corn in the blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Add the reserved 1/2 cup corn to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until soup thickens and heats through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped fresh chives, parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve. Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
