Cream of corn soup

One of my readers mentioned she wanted to try one of my recipes, but she can't find Cream of Corn soup at her grocery any longer. Of course, I hadn't made that particular one for a while, so I didn't realize I posted a recipe with ingredients that aren't available.

Well, I wrote an email to the most widely known soup company (you know, the one with the red and white cans) to see if there was any place it could be purchased. I also asked them if they had a different soup that would work as a substitute.

I received an automated response that someone would answer my question within 48 hours. OK, folks, it's been a week and nothing!

So, I am posting my own recipe for Cream of Corn soup. Use it as a stand-alone dish (yummy!) or in recipes. Enjoy!

Cream of Corn Soup

1 large can of corn
1 sliced onion

2 tablespoons butter

And to those readers who leave comments or email me directly: Thanks so much. I do appreciate hearing from you.
