Creamy Corn Soup

I’m so glad everyone loved Rach’s post as much as I did.

To keep it savory, I’m giving you a delicccious creamy corn soup recipe.  Creamed corn is delicious.  Probably because it’s the bad-for-you form of regular corn.  I’m okay with that.

If I can make an excuse to turn it into soup and make it into an acceptable meal, I will…and I did.

This is so good, especially with sweet cornbread (if you click on this link, please excuse the terrible pictures.) If you’re looking for a quick, but yummy meal, this is the one for you.

Sweet Cornbread Muffins (and blog changes coming soon!)

I’m really excited.

Jessica at Southtown Creative is redesigning What Katie’s Baking.  I will no longer be hosted by Blogger. It’ll be all my own, which is really awesome.


I can’t wait to show you all, but until then, things might be a little crazy around here for the next couple of weeks.

Until then, here are some muffins.  I was in a hurry, so I threw these together in about 45 minutes and got the recipe straight from All Recipes, no adaptations except the addition of an egg.

Because of that, I wasn’t going to give you the recipe, but it was too good not to.

Between me, my parents, and Kellen, we devoured the muffins in two days.  So. Good.  I say sweet, but there is just a hint of sweetness, not an overpoweringly sweet taste.  And they’re moist and fluffy.  So. Good.  Make them.  Also, they go perfectly with creamy corn soup, which I’ll have a recipe up for soon.
