Instructions: Melt the butter in heavy soup pot and saute the chopped onion in it until just limp, then set aside while you cut the corn from the cob with a sharp knife onto a wooden chopping board. Add immediately to sauteed onion, add milk, and bring to almost but not quite boiling.

Mix 1 tablespoon of the cream with the flour to form a soft paste and stir into corn-milk mixture, then add cream and bring to steamy hot but do not allow to boil. Season with salt and pepper and serve piping hot.
