For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before serving. Leave some whole kernels for texture. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce can add a unique twist. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable stock in place of half-and-half, or add heavy cream for extra indulgence. Make sure the popcorn is fresh and crisp for the best texture. Lightly salting the popcorn enhances the flavor of the dish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and parsley. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes.
02
Step
1 mins
Stir in the flour, ensuring it's well combined with the butter and onions. The mixture will be lumpy – this is normal. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. (Approximately 3 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Add the drained corn and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, about 5 minutes.
04
Step
5 mins
Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Adjust seasoning to your preference.
05
StepLadle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with air-popped popcorn. Serve immediately and enjoy this surprising and delicious treat!
