1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 sprig thyme, leaves stripped
1 stalk celery, trimmed and chopped
1 large roasted bell pepper, sliced
3/4 lb canned corn
1 cup water
1 cup milk
salt & pepper

Heat a little oil in a high-sided cooking pot and lightly brown the onion and thyme leaves for about 5 minutes, then add the celery. Mix with the onion and allow to brown for 5 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, mix well, and brown for a further 5 minutes, then add the corn along with the water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the milk, and blend just long enough to obtain a very creamy, puree consistency. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
