Get in a serving of whole grains with this satisfying side soup. A combination of creamed corn and whole-kernel corn give it a silky texture and deep sweetness. Use fresh corn if it’s in season or drained, canned corn if it’s easier to find than frozen.

Lightly spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray. Melt the margarine over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion and celery for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft but not brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in the water, potato, both corns, sugar, bouillon, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potato is just tender, stirring occasionally. -
Pour the half-and-half into a small bowl. Add the flour, whisking to dissolve. Stir into the soup. Stir in the parsley. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the soup has thickened, stirring frequently.
