• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 3/4 cup
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onions (the recipe calls for a yellow onion but I used a red one and it just made the soup that much sweeter) or 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced (the recipe calls for a yellow onion but I used a red one and it just made the soup that much sweeter)
• 1 lb no salt added frozen white corn
• 3 cups fat free sodium free chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon white pepper (I used 1/4 teaspoon)
• fresh rosemary (optional)

directions

1. In a large, heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes, or until translucent, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in the corn; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in the broth and rosemary; bring to a boil over medium heat.
4. Add the salt and white pepper.
5. Reduce the heat; simmer for 40 minutes (no stirring needed).
6. Working in batches, process the soup in a blender or food processor until almost smooth. (I just used my hand blender and put it right in the pot).
7. Reheat. (Not needed if using a hand blender).
8. To serve, garnish with rosemary sprigs.

This was so easy and so good. I ate the entire pot myself! It also keeps really well. It just can't get any better, especially paired with a grilled brie sandwich

This soup is so yummy and easy to make! I used yellow onion and the soup was still really sweet, but I think it would be good with red onion too. Very satisfying without being heavy. I added a little black pepper for garnish, but it would have been good either way.
