Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil or butter in a pot. Sauté onion, garlic, and celery until fragrant.
- Add Corn & Broth: Stir in corn and pour in broth. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until corn is tender.

Notes
- Fresh corn offers the sweetest flavor, but frozen or canned works year-round.
- For vegan versions, use coconut milk or cashew cream instead of dairy.
- Freeze without cream, then add dairy after reheating.
- Add diced potatoes or beans for extra heartiness.
- Garnish with croutons, cheese, or chili flakes for variety.
- Corn soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a crisp salad.
