• 2  (15 1/4-ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained

• 3  cups  chopped cooked chicken*
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

1. Saute onion in olive oil in a Dutch oven until tender.
2. Add cubed potato and next 4 ingredients; bring to a boil.
3. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender
   (about 15 minutes)
4. Add milk and next 6 ingredients; cook until heated
   (10-15 more minutes).
5. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

*3 cups chopped cooked ham or turkey may be substituted.

Tip:  I double this recipe, as this soup freezes nicely and is great to have on hand for a fast dinner.
