    Recipe Introduction


    Wonderful soup I found in the Good Housekeeping cookbook. At first I was husking the corn, now I just buy frozen corn, I think it taste the same either way.

    List of Ingredients

    2 tablespoons flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 lb red potatoes, cut into pieces (6 medium)
    2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
    2 cups half-and-half or light cream
    2 small ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
    thinly sliced basil leaves
