Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 celery stalk, finely diced
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and celery, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the corn kernels and cook for 5 minutes if using fresh corn, or 3 minutes if using frozen.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve warm.
