Notes

If you are making this from fresh corn simmer the corn cobs in the chicken stock for about 20 minutes. This will extract even more corn flavor.

Soup can be thinned with a little extra chicken stock if needed.

Technically you can freeze it but the texture will be a little grainy when it's thawed.

To make it vegan use vegetable stock, almond or coconut milk, and dairy free feta and margarine. If it seems to thin scoop some up and blend it in the blender then add it back in.

If you want a creamier soup add 1 can of creamed corn in place of 1 cup of the corn kernels.
