Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (kernels) fresh sweet corn (about 4 ears)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the corn by shucking it and slicing the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, measure out 3 cups and allow it to thaw.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and turmeric to the pot, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the corn kernels and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the corn to soften further.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Simmer the soup for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, being careful not to boil the cream.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a vibrant touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, golden flavors of this creamy corn soup.
