Sopa del Maiz (Corn Soup)

2 cups corn
1 cup creamed corn
2 small onions
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
cheddar cheese

Chop onions. In a large skillet, saute onions in melted butter until onions are translucent. Stir flour into onions and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Reduce heat to low, and add milk. Stir constantly to prevent scorching. Add corn and water. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Stir often.

Serve hot. Soup may be sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
