Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and stir for 2-3 minutes to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and leave the rest as is.
Once blended, stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, white pepper, and salt. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes while tasting to adjust seasoning if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually stir this into the soup to thicken it, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the pot from heat and ladle the soup into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
