Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, cumin and cayenne and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in broth, milk and reserved corn liquid. Bring mixture to boil, whisking until smooth. Mix in corn. (I like to add fresh corn as well.)
