Ingredients
  • 6 Fresh medium ears of corn
  • 1/4 cups Chopped onion
  • 4 Cups milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 Slightly beaten egg
  • 1 Whole small chicken breast
  • 1/4 cups Chopped onion
  • 1/4 cups Chopped celery
  • 1 /4-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 /4-ounce can whole kernel corn
  • 1/2 cups Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped pimiento
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat an oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Place the whole small chicken breast in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2
    Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the 6 fresh ears of corn, scraping the cobs to get all the milky juice. You should have about 2 to 3 cups of corn.
  3. 3
    In a large saucepan, combine the fresh corn kernels, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the corn is tender.
  4. 4
    Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat gently until hot but not boiling.
  5. 5
    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup milk and 3 tablespoons flour until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the hot corn and milk mixture in the saucepan.
  6. 6
    Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens and comes to a gentle bubble.
  7. 7
    In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup mixture into the egg, whisking vigorously to temper the egg so it doesn't curdle.
  8. 8
    Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil, or the egg may scramble.
  9. 9
    Stir in the cooked chicken pieces, 1/4 cup chopped celery, the can of condensed cream of chicken soup, the can of whole kernel corn, and 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento.
  10. 10
    Heat through for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with snipped chives, paprika, or crumbled bacon if desired.
