Sweet Corn Soup

Course Soups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 lbs fresh corn kernels from 6-8 ears corn (or 4 1/2 cups drained canned corn)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 large, fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • toasted salted corn nuts, fresh lime juice, and fresh basil, cilantro, or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot combine the corn, onion, garlic, rosemary, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the pot from the heat, let the soup cool for 10 minutes, and discard the rosemary.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender. With the blender running on medium-high, gradually add the olive oil and blend for about 30 seconds to fully incorporate the oil. Leave the soup a bit chunky or continue blending to give it a smoother consistency, if you prefer.
  • Return the soup to the pot and warm over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with more corn kernels, along with corn nuts, lime juice, and fresh herbs, and serve.
