Over medium head in a soup pot, add olive oil, butter, onion, pepper and salt. Cook until the onion is soft.
Add the potatoes, broth and milk. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are just starting to get soft, but not mushy.
Add the corn. If using fresh corn, cook 5 minutes; if using frozen corn, cook 3 minutes. Check the potatoes to make sure they aren't getting mushy. Add the slurry and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
Optionally garnish with crisp, chopped bacon, shredded sharp cheddar and chopped scallions or chives.
