This recipe is close to one my mom used to make for us kids when the weather turned cold. Hers called for heavy cream, but I came up with a slimmer version that I think is pretty true to the original! —Kendra Doss, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 medium onions, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
5 cups frozen corn (about 25 ounces)
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 2% milk
3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro

Directions

In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook and stir until tender. Stir in seasonings; cook 30 seconds longer.
Stir in corn and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk flour and milk until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken and cilantro; heat through.

Health Tip: Instead of using heavy whipping cream, this homey soup creates a thick and creamy texture with 2% milk and flour (a trade secret for lighter soups).
