1 Medium Carrot, finely diced
2 Celery Stalks, diced
1 Small Yellow Onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white corn kernels
1 1/2 cups yellow corn kernels

Instructions
Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the carrot, celery, onion and garlic and continue to cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir the flour into the vegetables to make a roux (paste). Continue to stir regularly and cook for about 5 minutes until it has turned light brown and has a slightly toasted smell.
Pour in 1 cup of stock and whisk until smooth, making sure to get any cooked flour off of the bottom of the pot.
Add in the white and yellow corn, potatoes, chicken and remaining 4 cups of stock and stir until well combined. Bring the soup to a simmer.
Stir in the half-and-half, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir often.
Finally, serve with any or all of the optional garnishes and enjoy!
