Ingredients

3 ears of corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
Salt and pepper
1 cup milk divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Chopped chives for serving

Instructions

Heat a grill to medium heat.
Shuck and clean the corn and grill until it is lightly charred, about 15 minutes. Allow the corn the cool, then cut the kernels from the corn.
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, then the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup of the milk and the corn. Season with the garlic powder and the Worcestershire sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup milk and the flour. Pour into the soup. Add the cheese and stir until thickened.
Serve topped with chopped chives.
