Sweet Corn Soup
6 -8 servings
An easy, corn soup made with simple ingredients. Can be made with either fresh or frozen corn. Delicious topped with hot sauce, lime juice and a butter!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small red-skinned potato peeled and chopped (2/3 cup)
- 1 small carrot chopped (1/3 cup)
- 1 small onion chopped (1/3 cup)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 6 cups corn fresh or frozen (I use frozen organic white corn)
- salt and pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme
- 2 limes
- hot sauce or butter
Instructions
- Heat a medium/large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil along with the potato, carrot and onion. Cook until the onion is tender, about 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour the in the chicken stock and stir. Add salt and pepper - about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon each depending on saltiness of your stock. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of the corn and cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
- Pour the soup back into the pot. Add the remaining 3 cups corn, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a squeeze of lime and butter/hot sauce. Enjoy!
