4 TB unsalted butter
1 cup diced leeks, washed well
2 cups fresh corn kernels
2 cups whole milk
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup corn meal
3 TB grated parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Toss corn kernels in 1 TB corn oil and roast on baking sheet at 400 degrees for 20 min. Cool.
Melt the butter in a med. saucepan, over med. heat. Saute diced leeks 2-3 minutes, add roasted corn and cook 2 minutes. Add milk and broth and bring to a simmer.
