Pour this mixture into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the broth, apple cider, water, butter, and ground mace. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Finally, toss in the thawed corn kernels and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.
