Cream of Corn Soup
Author and Educator
"The greatest fault of most cream soups is that they are heavy with flour or cream sauce which has been used for thickening. The most delicate cream soups are those thickened lightly with cream and egg yolks. These give a more positive flavor and a far better texture, without the floury quality which is often so objectionable. Quick-cooking tapioca may also be used for a thickener in many cream soups." –James Beard
