5 cups vegetable broth or chicken stock

direction : 

If you’re making this soup with corn on the cob, the

first step is to make corn broth. If you’re using canned

or frozen corn, you’ll also need chicken or vegetable

broth instead. In that case, skip the next paragraph.

To make corn broth, place the cobs and bay leaves in a

large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over

high heat, then turn the heat down to medium and let

the water boil for about 30 minutes. Taste the broth and

add salt and pepper until it tastes lightly corny. Boil it

down until you have about 5 cups of liquid. The broth

will keep for several months if frozen, or a few weeks in

the refrigerator.

To make the soup, melt the butter in a large pot or

Dutch oven on medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell

pepper, and potato, then stir. Cover the pot and let

everything fry and steam for about 5 minutes.

Take the lid off the pot and add the garlic and chili

pepper, if using. Stir the vegetables, using a splash of

water or broth to free any that get stuck to the bottom

of the pot.

Let the vegetables cook, stirring occasionally, for

another 5 minutes. They should be lightly browned and

soft, although the potatoes will not be fully cooked yet.

Add the corn and cornmeal or flour to the pot and stir.

Cover with about 5 cups of broth and bring to a boil,

then turn the heat down to low and simmer for about

30 minutes. The broth will thicken and become opaque.

Add salt and pepper to taste. If you made your own

corn broth, you’ll probably need at least a teaspoon of

salt; if you used store-bought broth, you’ll need less.

Serve with a slice of garlic bread or add a hard-boiled

egg for extra protein.
