Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of potato soup
  • 4 -5 ounces whole kernel corn (frozen or canned,if canned,drain)
  • 8 ounces neufchatel cheese, cut in small cubes
  • 8 ounces half-and-half or 8 ounces whole milk (either one for richness)
  • 8 ounces filtered water
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch or 1 tablespoon arrowroot
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (I did not use) (optional)
  • 1/4 Splenda sugar substitute, add to finished product as desired

Method

  • Wisk half and half, water and starch until blended in 5-qt.
  • pot with lid.
  • Place on medium heat.
  • Add Neufchatel cheese.
  • Heat and stir until cheese starts to break down.
  • Add rest of ingredients EXCEPT Splenda.
  • Bring to slow boil, turn dowm to simmer, cover and cook at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Stir frequently.
  • Add Splenda when finished if you wish soup to be sweeter.
  • Adjust liquid needs if it thickens too much upon standing.
  • This is good with some shredded sharp cheese and slivered green onions on top-- don't overdo as this will change the taste of the soup.
