Instructions
Heat butter and olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeño, and garlic; saute for 3-4 minutes, until onion is translucent.
Stir in flour until combined, and then gradually whisk in chicken broth.
Add in potatoes, corn, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, & bay leafs. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are fork tender.
Remove the bay leafs, then using an immersion blender, pulse the soup a few times until desired consistency is reached. You could also transfer a cup or two of the soup mixture to a blender and pulse a few times then add back to the pot. Adjust salt and pepper at this time.
