4-5 C corn broth ( see below)****

Salt and pepper to taste

16 leaves fresh basil leaves chopped or torn..

Cut corn off cobs (before cooking) place in a med saucepan with the milk…bring to simmer and simmer 5 minutes….Save the corn cobs……In a separate large saucepan melt the butter with the olive oil add the onion and cook till soft…add garlic and cook a few more minutes….add the potatoes and 4 C of the corn broth….salt and pepper to taste…simmer for about 20 minutes…add the corn milk mixture and ½ of the basil leaves…take out ½ of the soup and puree…add back to soup….simmer until hot…garnish with the rest of the basil leaves….YUMMY!!!!!!!

CORN BROTH

Place corn cobs from above in large pan with 4 qts water….the trimmings from your onion and a bay leaf(optional) Simmer 45 minutes to an hour…strain…now you have your corn broth…just about enough to double the soup recipe or place in freezer to make another soup at another time…..
