Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium russet potato, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 cups frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced potato and frozen corn to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup slightly to thicken while leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 1 minute to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
