Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag French style green beans
  • 1 (28 ounce) can small white potatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) canro-tel Mexican tomatoes
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 medium onion
  • 12 cup diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • Worcestershire sauce

Method

  • Make a roux in a large soup pot.
  • First make a roux in a large soup pot.
  • The easiest way is to warm the oil first over a medium-low flame, then slowly stir in the flour.
  • (I usually cover about 1/2-2/3 of the bottom of the pan with oil.)
  • As the oil heats and expands, it's easier incorporate the flour into the roux.
  • Cook over a medium-low flame, stirring often, until the roux is a dark caramel color.
  • (Think the color of say, a Caramello.)
  • The consistency should be fairly smooth, although don't worry if the roux gets a little thick.
  • When the roux is brown, add the Holy Trinity (bell pepper, onion, celery).
  • Cook until onions are transparent.
  • Add the frozen corn, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and seasoning to taste.
  • (At this point, don't over-season; you can always add more).
  • Saute the veggies until the mixture softens.
  • Add the canned corn, green beans, potatoes, veggie stock, Worcestershire sauce, and season to taste.
  • Let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes on low heat.
