A great soup recipe for your recipe box!
I stumbled upon this recipe a few weeks ago in my bursting-at-the-seams-recipe binder, and decided to make it for lunch for the kids one snowy afternoon. On a side note…don’t you just love old school recipe boxes…they’re full of family favourites. I spend so much time on the internet looking at recipes I almost forgot how much I loved my actual paper recipe book. A few years ago (pre-blog days) my recipe binder was the only way I stored my recipes, now I store them here on my blog. It felt nice to flip through some actual paper…I realized at that moment that I hadn’t done that in a while…which then made me realize that this simple act of looking through my book was an act of simplification which was my New Years goal. I’ve been so rushed over the last few months that I never took the time to just look for a recipe because I wanted to. Make something because I wanted to do, not because of a deadline. Novel idea huh? 😉 Simplification feels good.
Ready in 30 minutes.
This Creamy Corn Bisque is a simple and fresh soup that you can have on your table in 30 minutes! All you need are some simple ingredients: corn, broth, carrots, onions, celery, spices, and cream. Serve it up with some bread and a salad and you’ve got dinner made.
Creamy Corn Bisque Tips & Tricks
- Corn: Canned or frozen corn works great for this soup. Make sure to separate the amounts into 2 cups and 1 cup. 2 cups will get pureed, and 1 cup will be added later.
- Cream: You can use heavy cream or milk if you wish.
- Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
- In a skillet, on low-medium heat, melt the butter then add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, thyme and red pepper flakes. Saute until soft.
