  1. Dice 1 medium onion. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 6 cups of vegetable broth, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks, 1 diced green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of frozen or fresh corn kernels and simmer for 10 more minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder, if desired.
