Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour along with the basil, pepper, and salt. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, add the potatoes, carrots, and green onions to the pot and bring everything to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer gently until the potatoes are almost tender, around 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, stir in the half-and-half and corn, cooking for another 5 minutes or so until the stew is warmed through and everything is nicely combined.

Storage Tips
