1. Finely mince your small onion.
2. In a sauce pot bring your olive oil to medium-high heat. Add your drained corn, onion, thyme, bay leaf. Sauté for 5-10 minutes, until the onions are softened and you can smell the corn and thyme.
3. Cover the vegetables with vegetable stock; simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
4. After 1 hour remove the dried bay leaves and thyme stems. Blend the mixture together until combined. If you prefer a velvety soup, liquefy your soup. Otherwise I recommend leaving a little texture to the soup.
5. Return soup to your sauce pot and turn to medium heat. Add your cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir, simmer, serve, and enjoy!
