Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the peeled and diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the corn kernels, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially to create a creamy texture while leaving some chunks intact. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a perfect meal.
