Steps

1. 1

   Begin by removing the kernels from the corn cobs and collecting them in a spacious bowl. Use the back of a knife to scrape the remaining cobs, extracting any residual juices into the bowl. Set aside three of the cobs for later use.

2. 2

   Begin by heating olive oil in a sizable saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until it is thoroughly heated. Proceed by adding the onion and sautéing it for approximately 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until it becomes tender and develops a light brown hue. Introduce the potatoes, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeño into the pan next, cooking them while stirring frequently for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, incorporate the garlic into the mixture and continue to cook and stir for another minute.

3. 3

   Combine the broth, corn cobs, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper in a pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for approximately 30 minutes until the potatoes have softened.
