Instructions
Creating Summery Corn Soup is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prep Corn: Shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cobs using a knife. Set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Potato: Add the diced potato to the pot and stir for a couple of minutes.
5. Combine Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Add Corn: Once boiling, add the fresh corn kernels. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
7. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunky texture, blend only half of the soup.
8. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat for an additional few minutes.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime juice for an added zing.
