Sauté Vegetables: Heat the butter (or oil) in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, and garlic, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently.
Add Corn & Zucchini: Stir in the corn and zucchini (or summer squash). Mix well.
Simmer: Add the broth, milk, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
