Ingredients

• 30 ounces (2 cans) whole kernel corn, drained (divided)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter

Here's how to make it: 

1. 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.)
2. Add the milk to the corn in the blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
3. 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.
4. 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.
