Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
About 2 min
2
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Avoid browning the onion to keep the soup's color pale and creamy.
3
Stir in the cubed potatoes, salt, and water.
About 1 min
4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer.
About 2 min
5
Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Check the pot occasionally; if it looks dry before the potatoes are cooked, add a small splash of water.
6
Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and stir in the creamed corn and evaporated milk.
About 1 min
7
Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes until the soup is warmed through, but do not allow it to boil.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Boiling the soup after adding the milk can cause it to curdle or scorch.
