4 cups roasted corn
5 cloves garlic

4 cups chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
10 basil leaves sliced
Salt and pepper

1. Roast corn in oven or on the grill, cut off the kernels.
2. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent, add corn.
3. Deglaze with white wine, add chicken stock and cream.
4. Simmer on stove for 3o min, add basil season with salt and pepper.

I have served this soup with crab or grilled chicken on top, either one is great!
