A Really Basic Potato & Corn Soup

To me Fall is the time I change menus from grilled chicken, burgers, and steak to Soups, Stews and Caseroles.  This is a very basic Potato Soup - I added fresh corn.  You can add, bacon, cream, cheddar cheese or whatever you like to make it heartier.  

The basic recipe is:

Cook 1/2 onion in olive oil ,over medium heat, in you soup pot.  When the onion wilts add 1 clove chopped garlic and a T. butter - salt and pepper.  Cook for 2-3 minutes.  Sprinkle 2T. flour over the mixture and cook 2-3 more minutes.  Add 4 cups each Chicken broth and diced, peeled potatos.  Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat, and simmer for 10-12 minutes(or until potatos are tender).  

That's the basic soup. Now you can get creative - I added fresh corn and carrots.  Try cream, bacon, cheese...
