Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional, for some heat)
- Extra cilantro leaves for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- First things first, heat that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in those chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent—about 5 minutes. You wanna get them nice and soft.
- Add the minced garlic and stir it around for about a minute until it’s fragrant.
- Next, throw in those fresh corn kernels and mix it all together. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes while we get those lovely flavors mingling.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it all to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This really helps to bring out that sweet corn flavor!
- After simmering, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth, and then stir in the coconut milk for that creaminess we all love.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and if you’re feeling spicy, mix in that chopped jalapeño.
- Once your soup is nice and blended, let it cool down a bit. Then chill it in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Serve it up in bowls, drizzle that spicy cilantro mixture on top, and don’t forget those lime wedges on the side. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh touch!
