Instructions

Step 1 : 

In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 2 : 

Whisk in the whole-wheat flour and keep whisking until the mixture darkens but does not burn, 4 to 5 minutes. This is called making a roux.

Step 3 : 

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and stir occasionally until the veggies begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 4 : 

Add the corn, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pot and cook, stirring, for another 2 or 3 minutes. (If using frozen corn, add a minute to the cooking time.)

Step 5 : 

Pour in the chicken stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened.

Step 6 : 

Partially puree the soup by transferring only half to a countertop blender, then returning the puree to the pot, or by using a hand immersion blender in the pot and briefly pureeing for less than a minute. Ladle into soup bowls and serve warm or freeze in individual portions for another day.
