Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the grilled corn kernels to the pot along with Half and Half, Heavy Cream, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt.

Dissolve corn starch in water and add to the mixture, stirring until thickened.

Finish with Brandy and adjust seasoning to taste.
